Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho wants to join Manchester United.

That's according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Sancho himself is clearly eager to swap Dortmund for Manchester and had agreed a contract a year ago, with it likely it wouldn't be difficult for the Red Devils to reach a fresh agreement this time around.

Romano told The United Stand: "It's an open race. What I'm told is it's an open race. Last summer Manchester United were alone in the race, they had the opportunity to sign Sancho.

"They were really close and they didn't sign him. Now United are in the race, the player loves the opportunity of joining Manchester United so his position is not changing.

"He would love to join Manchester United. But also Liverpool are looking at the player if they sell some players in attacking positions.

"Let's see what happens with Chelsea. At the moment I'm told Chelsea have not had anything official with his agents or with Borussia Dortmund.

"At the moment Chelsea are not moving for Sancho but we can't exclude that they are going to do it if they sell some players.

"At the moment it's an open race, that's how they describe the situation. But last summer he was really one step away from joining United.

"He had an agreement with United, he had contract set and his agent had no problem with United. They never made any problems with the player. It's not like this.

"Sancho wants to join, the agent wants Sancho to move. The situation is so clear - it's up to United to decide if they want to pay or not for Sancho.

"Dortmund have changed their position. It's not €120m, it's less than €100m, so around €90m-€95m.

"The player is open to the move if an important bid will arrive. It's up to Manchester United."
