MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Pallister thinks his former club should sign Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho this summer.
The ex-England defender also believes Tottenham forward Harry Kane needs to sort his future before Euro 2020 begins – and claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is United’s best manager since Alex Ferguson.
Speaking to SBK sportsbook about Sancho, Pallister said: “That right-hand side has been a problem for United all season.
“Sancho is exciting and has had a great time in Germany scoring goals and getting assists.
“He looked as though he was going to come in last season but Dortmund played hardball and it didn’t get over the line. I think he’s eager to come… a real no-brainer.
“He’s the type of player that would excite the United fans next season. These kinds of players are going to cost a pretty penny and that’s the worrying thing.
“After the pandemic and the way clubs have been hit I don’t know whether you can afford to bring in two massive signings like Harry Kane and Sancho.”
Sancho, who is reportedly interested in joining United this summer, has been in terrific form this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions for Dortmund.

Pallister was also keen to discuss Kane’s transfer saga, telling SBK sportsbook: “Kane will have an idea of where he wants to go.
“He will want it sorted out as soon as possible because it can linger and it can affect a player’s concentration so hopefully for England’s sake, for Harry’s sake and for Tottenham’s sake, it does get sorted.
“If Daniel Levy doesn’t want him to go or he plays hardball this has to be dealt with before the Euros kick-off.
“Harry Kane has given great service to Tottenham and at this moment in time it doesn’t look like they’re going to compete for major honours.
“Kane deserves [a move] because he’s been very fair with Tottenham over the years and now is the time to cut him loose and let him fulfil his dreams.”
Kane has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season, winning both the Golden Boot and Playmaker award for most assists.
And Pallister, who won 15 trophies during his nine years at Old Trafford, thinks his former team-mate Solskjaer is the right man to lead the club forward.
He added: “He [Solskjaer] needs to put a trophy in the cabinet and I’m sure he feels that way.
“Ole and this Manchester United team is the best side United have had for quite a while. They try to play in the image of Manchester United and Ole gets that, the fans are happy with the way it is going.
“I think this is the closest the club has been to the top since Sir Alex left and I think that’s because Ole has been the first manager to understand the club.
“United is different from most clubs around the world in that they expect entertainment and unfortunately they never really got it from previous managers.”
