MANCHESTER UNITED are set to reignite their interest in Jadon Sancho after Borussia Dortmund lowered their asking price by £20million, according to reports.
The Red Devils were desperate to land the 20-year-old England winger last summer but refused to meet the £108million price-tag.

Man United launched an initial £65m bid with future incentives but Dortmund wanted more money upfront.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not lost his interest in Sancho and is expected to test Dortmund’s resolve yet again at the end of the season.
According to Bild, Dortmund will let him leave if they receive an offer in the region of £88m.
The coronavirus pandemic is having a brutal financial impact on football and clubs are being forced to lower their prices for their main assets.
The Mirror also write how Dortmund are facing losses of £66m and the sale of Sancho would help cover the debts.
Sancho will also be another year closer to the end of his contract in Germany which expires in the summer of 2023.
Another reason for the drop in price could be related to his form this season.
After failing to land his move to Old Trafford, Sancho failed to score in the Bundesliga until the New Year.
He has three in 17 matches on the back of scoring 17 last season.
Manchester United refused to be bullied over his price and the January arrival of £19million wonderkid Amad Diallo will add strength in depth in attack.
