Man Utd to Battle Man City for Jadon Sancho With Citizens 'Very Interested'

Manchester City are reportedly 'very interested' in making a move to sign former academy starlet Jadon Sancho, pitting themselves against local rivals United in the race for the coveted young player.

Sancho spent two seasons in Manchester with City, but first-team opportunities proved hard to come by. As a result, he departed for Germany in 2017 and has been a revelation. In the league last term, the Englishman managed 12 goals and 14 assists in just 34 appearances, and he has made an equally bright start to the new campaign.

Manchester United were very keen on bringing in the 19-year-old in the summer, but a deal never materialised.
