Manchester United are handed a boost in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho, according to a report.

Manchester United have reportedly been given a boost in their pursuit of Jadon Sancho, with Borussia Dortmund setting their sights on a potential replacement for the attacker.

The Red Devils continue to be credited with an interest in the England international, who scored 20 times and registered 20 assists in 44 appearances for BVB during the 2019-20 campaign.

United are allegedly finding it difficult to agree a price for the 20-year-old, with Dortmund believed to value him in excess of £100m, while the English giants are only thought to be prepared to pay £80m.

According to The Telegraph, though, Lucien Favre's side are making contingency plans for Sancho's departure and have targeted Werder Bremen's Milot Rashica as a potential replacement.

BVB also recently announced the capture of Birmingham City's Jude Bellingham, who had been linked with a move to Old Trafford before officially signing with the Bundesliga giants.

Sancho, who scored 17 times and registered 17 assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances last term, has entered the final two years of his contract at Signal Iduna Park.
