Man United target Jadon Sancho hints he will still be at Borussia Dortmund next season

Manchester United target Jadon Sancho insists his focus for next season is winning the Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified the 19-year-old forward as the perfect profile for the squad he wants to build at Old Trafford.

But United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League has cast doubt on whether Sancho would be willing to make the switch at this point in his career.

With the club closing in on a deal for Swansea starlet Daniel James, United look set to have to shelve a move for Sancho until next summer with Borussia Dortmund insistent their prized asset is going nowhere.

Dortmund were unable to prevent Bayern Munich scooping a seventh German title on Saturday but Sancho has given a strong indication he will be around next season to help his current club halt that reign.

"Next season our target is to win, not come second," he said.

"I’m really happy with how I played this season. I wasn’t playing that much at the start of the season but was in the team more often later on. It’s all about hard work."
