Manchester United believe interest in Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi will have to be shelved with their respective clubs maintaining they do not wish to sell.England internationals Sancho and Hudson-Odoi have been discussed but there is a growing air of realism around the United camp that both will be extremely difficult to prise away this summer.
City negotiated a matching rights clause in Sancho’s contract which enables them to offer the same amount as rival suitors, should Dortmund agree to sell, but the German club have proven stubborn in the past once they make such a declaration. Chelsea have less security over Hudson-Odoi as he has just one year remaining on contract but they still plan to reassure him he will feature more regularly and are reluctant to allow him to join Premier League rivals
