Sancho has shone for Dortmund and could be an ideal signing to help lift Liverpool out of the slump they’ve been in this season.
It looks time for Jurgen Klopp to break up his front three as their peak may now be behind them, with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino looking particularly unconvincing in recent times.
Sancho would also be a dream signing for United right now as they need more spark up front to close that gap between themselves and Manchester City.
Anthony Martial has not been at his best this term and someone like Sancho in that front three could have made the difference in this season’s title race.
Dortmund are surely going to struggle to keep this exciting young talent for much longer, especially if they can’t offer Champions League football next season.
