Jadon Sancho is said to be exited by the idea of joining Manchester United after being promised he will be the star man at Old Trafford — something that may even signal that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is no longer fussed over Paul Pogba.
German journalist Raphael Honigstein has revealed he’s heard the idea of heading to Old Trafford is “quite appealing” to the Borussia Dortmund winger.

“But they can promise him to be the leading star in a new team that is emerging.
“From what I’ve been told that is quite appealing to him.”
