Jadon Sancho should snub £100m Man Utd transfer and stay at Borussia Dortmund with me, urges ex-Liverpool ace Emre Can
JADON SANCHO has been urged to snub a summer transfer to Manchester United by team-mate Emre Can.
And the former Liverpool midfielder is hoping he can "play forever" alongside the wonderkid at Borussia Dortmund.
United are believed to be the front-runners for Sancho in a deal that could be in excess of £100million.
Only last month SunSport exclusively revealed how the Premier League giants had "agreed almost every detail" of Sancho's transfer barring the small print.
But as the coronavirus pandemic has decimated the European football calendar, it could also have a long-lasting effect on club finances.
This could mean negotiations for Sancho, 20, and other star players take a different turn.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, Can, who is on loan at Dortmund from Juventus, said that he is hopeful Sancho stays in Germany.
The 26-year-old said: "I see no reason to put Manchester United above Borussia Dortmund.
"Not from a sporting side and not because of the appeal.
"I’d tell him to stay put and let’s play together forever.
"Jadon has class that not a lot of players possess. I noticed that fairly quickly. He’s enormously important for us."
