Manchester United confident of January deals for Jadon Sancho and Christian Eriksen - report

Jadon Sancho

Sancho has been heavily linked with a return to England after impressing in the Bundesliga since his 2017 move from Manchester City.

The Mirror reports that United believe they are the frontrunners to land the 19-year-old’s signature during the mid-season transfer window, although Dortmund are reluctant to sell.  

Sancho’s relationship with Dortmund has soured a little this season after a string of disciplinary issues.

He is believed to favour a move to Spain, having been linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past, but the Red Devils could take advantage of Tottenham’s eagerness to get a transfer fee in January rather than lose him for free next summer.
