Manchester United have abandoned their attempts to sign Jadon Sancho this summer, reports claim.
The Borussia Dortmund and England winger has been a long-term target for the Red Devils following his rapid rise to stardom in Germany.
The 19-year-old was identified as a potential signing before Jose Mourinho was sacked by the club in December.
Sancho has been impressive in the Bundesliga this season with 12 goals and 14 assists.
A host of clubs are reportedly interested in the former Manchester City youth player, who made his Three Lions debut last year.
