Manchester United have offered Borussia Dortmund Alexis Sanchez in return for Jadon Sancho, reports say. The England international is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s top transfer target ahead of the
summer, having set the Bundesliga alight over the last three years. And Sanchez could now hold the key to the 20-year-old moving to Old Trafford. Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
has made Sancho the club’s priority ahead of the summer, having first attempted to sign the England international last year. The club’s own interest in the 20-year-old goes beyond that, with
United trying to land Sancho in 2017 when Jose Mourinho was still in charge. The England forward has been in sublime form this season, scoring 17 goals and registering 20 assists across all
competitions. And, now, Mundo Deportivo say United have offered Dortmund the chance to take Sanchez off their hands. The Chile international is primed to be offloaded by the Red Devils.
They loaned him to Inter Milan last summer hoping that he’d be able to replicate the same brilliant form he managed during his time at Arsenal. VOTE IN OUR LOCKDOWN SURVEY: PREMIER LEAGUE

As things stand he’s set to return to United at the end of the season. But they’re seemingly intent on offering him to Dortmund as part of a deal that would see Sancho make a stunning
return to the Premier League. On the surface, Sanchez moving to Dortmund appears illogical. They’re a club who like to sign young players, rather than internationals whose best days appear
to be behind them. Sanchez also earns close to £400,000-a-week at Old Trafford and Dortmund would be unable to afford that, particularly in a post-coronavirus market. THINK YOU KNOW

offer from Real Madrid you think, ‘I have to go’. “No, you don’t have to go because the salaries in the Bundesliga are on a good level, too, not as much as Real Madrid or the Premier League,
though. “But you can earn good money and improve and not make too much of a big step at once. “So for Jadon to move to Man United with that pressure, they are struggling to qualify for the
