Man United 'will attempt to sign Sancho this summer'

Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho will reportedly be a leading target for Manchester United in this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils completed two signings in January, securing Bruno Fernandes on a long-term deal from Sporting Lisbon before announcing the arrival of Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua.

Ighalo is only expected to spend six months at Old Trafford, though, at which point the 20-time English champions will allegedly target another striker.

According to the Evening Standard, Sancho is very much on the club's wishlist this summer, while Leicester City attacker James Maddison is still an option despite the arrival of Fernandes.

Sancho's relationship with BVB has become strained due to a series of off-the-field incidents, although the 19-year-old has again posted terrific numbers this term, scoring 14 times and registering 15 assists in 26 outings.

The England international has also been linked with Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, while Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are thought to be admirers of the teenager.
