# Manchester United: Fans not expecting success in £120m battle for Jadon Sancho

**According to a report from the [Daily Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-confident-beating-chelsea-21477503), Manchester United are locked in a battle with Premier League rivals Chelsea for winger Jadon Sancho’s signature, with the article claiming that both clubs could bid [£120m](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-confident-beating-chelsea-21477503) to sign the player.**

Sancho, who has [turned heads](https://talksport.com/football/445191/jadon-sancho-targeting-big-things-borussia-dortmund/) with his form for Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund in recent seasons, signed for the German club from Manchester City in 2017 for just [£8m](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/31/jadon-sancho-borussia-dortmund-manchester-city), with that price looking like a mere drop in the ocean compared to his price tag right now. [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-confident-beating-chelsea-21477503) claimed that Sancho could be on the move back to the Premier League as United and Chelsea gear up for a £120m battle to land the teenager.

Compared to current winger Anthony Martial, Sancho has bagged 10 goals and 13 assists in the league this season as well as a superior completed dribbles ratio (2.8), as per [WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/346300/Show/Jadon-Sancho). However, due to his lofty price tag, some Manchester United supporters have since gone on to rubbish the report.
