MANCHESTER United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is considering a summer move for Borussia Dortmund’s England starlet Jadon Sancho.
The 19-year-old, who starred in the Three Lions’ 7-0 win over Montenegro on Thursday, has had a troubled spell at the German Bundesliga club.

Sources claim he is ready to return to England, igniting a £100million chase for the winger.
He was fined £86,000 and forced to train alone in the rain after returning back for training late following England duty.
Then, Dortmund boss Lucien Favre subbed him after just 36 MINUTES during last week’s crushing 4-0 loss at rivals Bayern Munich.
Liverpool and Real Madrid are also after the former Manchester City player, who joined Dortmund in 2017.
Any transfer would mean a huge windfall for the Germans.

Etihad chiefs let Londoner Sancho go for just £8m when he was a 17-year-old – two years after signing him from Watford.
United, Liverpool and Real all know they will have to pay big money for the youngster, who signed a £190,000-a-week contract in August.
But Solskjaer wants Sancho next year to link up with fellow England star Marcus Rashford and France striker Anthony Martial in an exciting new three-pronged attack, according to the Guardian.
Yet some United fans are unhappy with the mooted deal as they believe Sancho is over-rated – and prefer £15m Swansea recruit and Wales international Dan James.
Sancho is set to be rested by England boss Gareth Southgate for tomorrow’s Euro 2020 qualifier with Kosovo.
Raheem Sterling will be restored to the attack despite his clash with Liverpool defender Joe Gomez.
With Rashford back on top form, Southgate might not want to leave the Manchester United man out, as he looked razor sharp against Montengro, scoring a fantastic individual goal.
