Manchester United boss prefers to sign Chelsea target over Aston Villa attacker

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would apparently really like to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho ahead of Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish this summer.

The England International was pursued by the Red Devils the previous summer, but they couldn’t entice Dortmund to bring down their £108m asking price from the 21-year-old.

Manchester United are set to invest intensely in their squad this summer, with a striker and a central defender high on their list of targets.

In any case, as indicated by the Daily Telegraph, Solskjaer had encouraged the club’s hierarchy to focus on the signing of Jadon Sancho.

Jack Grealish is accepted to be another player who United are monitoring however Solskjaer will possibly hope to sign the 25-year-old midfielder if a deal for Sancho fails to emerge.

Both Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish – who are set to be named in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2020 – have dominated during the 2020-21 season, with the Dortmund winger recording 16 goals and 21 assists in 38 appearances.

Then, the Birmingham-born playmaker made 26 appearances for Aston Villa, scoring 6 times and 12 assists.
