Man Utd transfer target Jadon Sancho left out of Dortmund squad to face Bayern Munich due to ‘respiratory infection’
JADON SANCHO has been left out of Borussia Dortmund’s squad for the German Supercup final against Bayern Munich due to a ‘respiratory infection’.
The news comes as reports claim Manchester United have seen a new £91million bid for the winger rejected by his club.

Jadon Sancho and Roman Bürki will not fly to Munich as a result of respiratory infections.
Additionally, both players tested negatively for COVID-19 yesterday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been chasing Sancho all summer as he looks to strengthen his attacking options before Monday’s transfer deadline.
But Dortmund insisted in August that Sancho would be staying put as United were yet to meet his £108m price tag.
Captain Marco Reus earlier today claimed his teammate will be wearing the famous yellow-and-black jersey for at least one more year.

But United appear to have stepped up their efforts to bring Sancho to Old Trafford.
And the flames have been stoked further with the England international playing no part in tomorrow’s cup final against number one rivals Bayern.
Solskjaer had been looking at other options after adding just £40m Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek to his squad.
Injury-prone Barcelona man Ousmane Dembele was said to be attracting interest from United.
And he sparked further speculation by turning up late to training under new boss Ronald Koeman.

Meanwhile, Watford’s Ismaila Sarr has been on Solskjaer’s radar too.
He was a £40m target for Liverpool before they signed Wolves’ Diogo Jota.
But United now seem determined to go back for Sancho and land the man who was always their top priority for the wing.
