Jadon Sancho transfer latest: Gareth Bale transfer an alternative?

It appears that Man United will not be able to rope in Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho this summer.

The Sancho transfer saga's latest updates suggest that a deal for the England international is unlikely to materialise anytime soon.

Sky Sports suggests that Man United's decision of not meeting Dortmund's valuation price has upset the Bundesliga giants. The Signal Iduna Park outfit expect the Red Devils to pay £108 million to prise the winger away from Germany. With a Sancho deal looking more difficult by the week, Man United have begun looking for alternatives.
