Manchester United 'confident of Jadon Sancho signing'

Manchester United are reportedly confident that they will secure the signing of Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho.

The 19-year-old has established himself as one of the most sought-after prospects in world football this season, having registered 14 goals and 16 assists in the German top tier this season.

Sancho has been widely linked with a move to United or Liverpool in recent months, and according to the Mirror, The Red Devils believe that a guarantee of Champions League football should see them land the teenager.

The report also claims that Dortmund would be willing to part ways with the England international for a fee of £130m, but United would reportedly have to fend off competition from French champions Paris Saint-Germain for the attacker's signature.

With uncertainty continuing to surround the future of Paul Pogba, the 20-time English champions could allegedly use the funds raised from a potential sale of the Frenchman in their pursuit of Sancho.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side continued their Europa League campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of Austrian side LASK Linz in the first leg of the last-16 stage on Thursday evening.
