Jadon Sancho "Could Join Liverpool Next Summer" After Manchester United Transfer Saga

Manchester United's failure to sign Jadon Sancho could give Liverpool the perfect opportunity to swoop in next summer.

United have been interested in the Borussia Dortmund winger throughout the transfer window, but the club have remained firm in their £108 million valuation.

A deadline of August 10 was set for the deal but United were convinced the Bundesiga outfit would soften their stance.

The Independent have reported failure to strike a deal this summer could see Liverpool slide in to secure Sancho's signature in 2021.

It is claimed that "many in Germany" see the Premier League champions as a likely destination for the 20-year-old, as the club have curbed their spending during the coronavirus pandemic.

While Liverpool have added Thiago and Diogo Jota to their squad, it is believed the fees are structured to be paid in instalments.

It means a big signing could be on the way next season, especially after a number of outgoings in this window.

Meanwhile, United have managed to add to their squad with three new signings in the works.

Alex Telles and Edinson Cavani are set to be confirmed imminently while a deal has been struck for Atalanta winger Amad Traore.

The 18-year-old was set to join Parma earlier in the transfer window but a transfer collapsed in the final stages.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says a work permit is still pending with the deal in line to be completed during this window or in January.

The Premier League club will play €30 million (£27 million) plus add-ons for the Ivorian.

Reinforcements will be welcomed at Old Trafford following a humiliating 6-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskajer explained the capitulation was his worst day as a manager so far.

"We have contributed a lot to our own downfall," he told BBC Sport.

"To explain now is quite difficult. We have been beaten 6-1 at home by a very good side.

"It is the worst day of my career as Manchester United manager and the worst day for all of them as United players.

"It is not the worst day in Manchester United history, we have bounced back before."
