Ole Solskjaer evades entertaining Jadon Sancho to Manchester United rumours

Ole Solskjaer deliberately avoids answering the questions related to Jadon Sancho making a move to Manchester United this summer.

Jadon Sancho since the turn of the year has been heavily linked with Manchester United, and the Red Devils reportedly find the 20-year-old player suitable to their requirements.

In spite of this, Manchester United manager opts to avoid questions related to Sancho, as any statement by him might flare up the rumour even further.

a reporter from Norway’s Viaplay from asking Solskjaer whether he was considering signing anyone from BVB, a question that momentarily stumped the United manager.

“I’m good at maths, but I can’t answer that question. There are many good footballers on many teams,” Solskjaer told the journalist, before adding that United would be in the market for the right player and on the right terms.

“If something is in front of us screaming that it’s sensible, both from a sporting and a financial perspective, I know we’re going to try, but you can’t make any promises.”

Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund director Sebastian Kehl has confirmed that they haven’t received any bids for Sancho and are expecting to keep his services for at least another year.

“We expect Jadon to play with BVB next season and we’re all very happy with the quality that he brings to our side and the difference that he can make,” he told Sport Buzzer. 

The demands of Borussia Dortmund for Sancho are extremely expensive, as they are not ready to entertain any offer below the bracket of £100 million, which is definitely warding off many clubs amidst the economical conditions caused by the pandemic.
