Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho favours a move to Manchester United over Chelsea because he believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can rebuild the Red Devils with his focus on young players. The Blues have been battling United for the winger’s signature, with Frank Lampard keen to make a statement signing after being prevented from making additions last summer due to a transfer ban. Chelsea will hand Lampard significant funds and the Blues had looked at financing a deal given Pedro and Willian are both set to leave.

The likes of Romelu Lukaku, Ander Herrera, Alexis Sanchez, Marcos Rojo, Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini have been jettisoned since Solskjaer took over, while Brandon Williams, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have thrived. Solskjaer has put a focus on young British talent and Sancho believes United represent a better fit for his future, given there is a ready-made spot on the right wing waiting for him, according to the Mirror.
