Manchester United's £269m plan to derail Chelsea over Jadon Sancho transfer

Manchester United are planning a new £300million revolution to beat Chelsea to the signature of Jadon Sancho.

The England winger is wanted by all the top clubs in Europe after yet another sensational season in the Bundesliga.

Sancho has scored 20 goals and registered 18 assists this season which has attracted interest from across the Premier League.

Manchester United and Chelsea are both interested in signing Sancho this summer despite the Blues' acquisition of Hakim Ziyech.

However, Christian Falk, Head of Football at German outlets Bild and SportBild has revealed that Manchester United have a £300million transfer war chest which they will use to try and influence Sancho's decision.

"I last asked this question to Emre Can. He said: “ No, United is not a step up to Dortmund," Falk told UtdReport.

"However, he was a Liverpool player. In the case of Jadon Sancho, it would definitely be the next step in his career from a player’s perspective.

"I have heard from my sources that United’s management is ready to invest 300 million euros to build a new team. This is also a sign to players like Sancho that a big team is ready to be built up at United – there is a huge incentive.

"United weren’t convincing enough for Timo Werner’s poker. The next player will be moved on more aggressively. The 300 million euros can also be spent during this summer – if the needed players are on the market, and if they can sell some players."
