Manchester United's failure to qualify for the Champions League has put a big dent in their hopes of landing Jadon Sancho.
United had made Borussia Dortmund and England starlet Sancho their top target for the problem right wing position they are keen to fill this summer.
The Old Trafford giants were ready to test their resolve and pay a club record fee to try and lure the £100m-rated 19 year-old back to Manchester from Germany.
Sancho was open to the idea of making the move too but United’s chances of landing the exciting winger are now rated as ‘doubtful’ after missing out on a top four finish following Sunday’s draw at already-relegated Huddersfield.
The chance to play first-team football and develop by playing at the highest level was the big motivating factor behind Sancho’s decision to turn down a contract and leave City two years ago.
He will get that opportunity to play in the Champions League again with Dortmund next season but that is no longer a possibility at United who will be in the Europa League.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been confident that United would be able to make major signings if they missed out on the Champions League.
But, as a result of not qualifying for Europe’s top competition, they are facing a setback over Sancho who has scored 12 goals and racked up 19 assists in 41 Dortmund appearances this season.
He has also broken into the England senior setup this season, winning four caps for Gareth Southgate’s side.

United fans should spam Sancho on twitter to ask him to come to United. I mean why not? 😂 The shirt fits him 😍

First of all he isn't worth £100million,and let's Not kid ourselves like any modern day footballer it is all about the money, Just look at Robinhio, He said he went to City for the history, What history, Not winning a Trophy in 48 years, Some History, Money Talks.

I hope Man U can get great players for next season. I am saying signing Dybala, sancho and maybe even cancelo. Ole Gunnar solskjaer never give up
