Man Utd eye Sancho with forward allowed to leave

Manchester United will prioritise the signing of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho this summer, with the forward informed he can leave, according to The Telegraph.

Sancho was also a top target for the Red Devils last year, but a deal never came together. He has since continued to impress, shaking off a slow start to 2020-21 to finish with eight goals and 11 assists in 26 Bundesliga appearances.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could also target Jack Grealish to bolster his attack amid a push from some of his players to sign the Aston Villa standout.

"Milan are special for me, we are back in the Champions League and it is a great result for the team," he told Fotomac. "I haven’t decided on my future yet and I don’t want to talk about it now, I just want to focus on the Euros."

Tottenham interested in re-hiring Pochettino

Tottenham could try to bring back Mauricio Pochettino after sacking Jose Mourinho last month, claims the Independent.

Pochettino was previously responsible for a rare Champions League purple patch at Spurs that included an appearance in the competition's final in 2019.

Now at Paris Saint-Germain, the manager is said to be open to a return under the right circumstances with things in France not going according to plan; PSG failed to win the league this year with Lille lifting the trophy this past weekend.
