What could still happen in the Manchester side’s transfer dealings?

As everyone across the footballing world waits for something concrete to arise regarding Man United’s transfer bid for Jadon Sancho, there could be an intriguing twist left in this saga.

During the negotiations when Sancho sealed a move to Borussia Dortmund from the Sky Blues, no buy-back clause was agreed on. However, there was an interesting option to match the bid for which Die Borussen agree to sell the England international.

"Principally we don’t make contract details public, But what you mean here is, actually, not really relevant, because it would be at most a matching right. That would have no significance at all for us, apart from having to talk with City if an offer came up. But that’s very theoretical.

Notwithstanding Man City’s status-quo, as they find themselves hit with UEFA sanctions, the lofty ambitions of the owners could mean the noisy neighbours flexing their financial muscles yet again.

Crucially for United, the aforementioned players are keen on a move to Old Trafford and being a part of an emerging squad. This factor inclines this saga a bit towards Solskjaer’s Red Devils.

After a period of astute spending in the previous two transfer windows, this is the time for United chiefs to hold their nerve and believe in the work going on behind the scenes to convince the players of the ongoing project at Old Trafford.
