Jadon Sancho advised to snub Man Utd transfer and wait for Liverpool move next summer

Jadon Sancho should reject a move to Manchester United - and sign for Liverpool instead.

That is the view of former Anfield midfielder Danny Murphy as United continue to chase the England starlet.

Sancho has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund with United showing the greatest interest.

But as talks over a £110million move stall, Murphy has advised the 20-year-old forward to hold out for a move to the Premier League champions.


"United are an attractive proposition, one of the biggest clubs in the world with a young and exciting team, but Sancho won’t be short of suitors in his career and he’ll be aware that in a year’s time, when football finances are a bit steadier, he may have a choice that also includes Liverpool, his ‘local’ team Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid," he wrote in the Daily Mail.

"It’s possible he may prefer to wait and weigh up his options after the Euros next summer rather than rocking the boat now by telling Dortmund he wants to leave.


"If that’s the case and United are fighting against an inflated fee and a player considering other options, they have a problem - and that’s without factoring in the agent fees that usually accompany a deal like this.

"Sancho is young and publicly respectful but his career to date indicates a player who knows his own mind and will have a say in his future. If his heart really is set on joining United, there are ways of letting all relevant parties aware.


"Whatever is beneficial for your career, you are going to try to make it happen. If United know that, I’d pay Dortmund the asking price even if I admire the principle of not being dictated to. Sancho’s value isn’t going to diminish.

"However, judging by what I’ve seen so far there is no rebellion from Sancho, which makes me sense he’s not desperate to move to United."

Sancho hinted he will remain with the German giants for next season when he said he was enjoying working with the club's youngsters, including new signing from Birmingham Jude Bellingham.


"I love playing with this lot. It’s a special bunch. We’ve got some special young players coming up," he said.

"I’m really happy to share the pitch with them and guide them. I joined when I was 17, some of the lads are the same age. I’ve been there and done that. I can guide them in what’s good and what isn’t. I can hopefully motivate them as well."
