Transfer News: Manchester United contemplate signing Atletico Madrid forward as Jadon Sancho replacement

Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix is purportedly on the radar of Manchester United as an expected option to Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United continued to be connected with Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, but with the Bundesliga outfit declining to move on their £108m asking price, the Red Devils could be compelled to search out different choices.

Joao Felix arrived at Atletico in a deal worth £113m from Benfica the previous summer, and the Portuguese attacker proceeded to score nine goals and three assists his first season with the La Liga giants.

Nonetheless, Joao Felix’s future has been raised doubt about on a few occasions, and as indicated by Ivisionsport, Manchester United could make a move for the talented youngster if a deal for Jadon Sancho fails to work out.

Manchester United’s main rivals Manchester City have been recently credited with an enthusiasm for the talented 20-year-old, who signed a long term deal with Atletico running until 2026 upon his arrival.

Juventus forward Douglas Costa and Real Madrid pariah Gareth Bale have also been referenced as potential options to Jadon Sancho for Manchester United.
