Man Utd criticized for their naivety after their second improved bid to land Jadon Sancho fail to meet Dortmund’s requirements.
The Red Devils’ chase of England winger Sancho is promising to be the biggest transfer saga for the second year running.
Man Utd spent much of last summer attempting to bring the outstanding star on board. But in the end, Dortmund’s nine-figure estimate proved a bridge too far.
Not to be discouraged, Man Utd have reignited their affair in the 21-year-old. And by all recitals, they had been making progress.
Personal terms between Man Utd and Sancho are understood to have been long since agreed. The sticking point continues to be the transfer fee Dortmund are asking.
An opening offer of around £60m was reportedly declined earlier this month, though that was never anticipated to be their final attempt.

On Saturday night, news broke of an improved bid being lodged totaling more than £75m. That figure still drops short of Dortmund’s reported estimate, but initial optimism was rife after Sky Sports indicated there was a “willingness from all parties” to make a deal.
However, the latest report has dried hopes. That bid has reportedly been denied, but furthermore, Dortmund have seemingly launched an attack on Man Utd’s readiness to reach an agreement after it was claimed ‘Man Utd don’t know how good Sancho really is.’
Patrick Berger – chief reporter of German outlet Sport1 took to Twitter to deliver the bad news.
Berger wrote: “Reports from today are true: Borussia Dortmund have received a new improved offer from Manchester United.
“But it’s still not satisfactory for [Dortmund]. In Dortmund they think that [Man Utd] don’t know how good Sancho really is.”
