United handed Sancho blow

- MARK CRITCHLEY NORTHERN FOOTBALL WRITER

Jadon Sancho will play for Borussia Dortmund next season, according to the club’s sporting director, despite Manchester United’s interest in the England winger.

Michael Zorc told journalist­s at

Dortmund’s training camp in Switzerlan­d that Sancho would stay at Signal Iduna Park for the 2020-21 season and that the decision was ‘final’. Zorc also claimed that Sancho’s contract – previously believed to have two years left to run – was extended by a further year last summer until 2023.

“We plan on having Jadon Sancho in our team this season, the decision is final,” Zorc said. ”I think that answers all our questions. “Last summer we adjusted Jadon’s salary to match the developmen­t of his performanc­es. So in context, we had already extended his contract until 2023 back then.”
