JESSE LINGARD has fuelled speculation that Jadon Sancho could join Manchester United after he revealed the winger regularly plays Call of Duty: Warzone with the Red Devils squad.
It’s no secret that the Borussia Dortmund ace is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s No1 target this transfer window as he desperately looks to bring him to Old Trafford.
And United fans will be delighted to hear that Sancho is in regular conversations with several members of the squad.
Lingard – who has played with Sancho for the England national team – lifted the lid in an interview with Sporf about the popular online battle royale game.
Speaking about who he plays with, Lingard said: “There’s quite a few of us to be fair.
“Marcus [Rashford], Brandon [Williams], [Paul] Pogba, [Jadon] Sancho.
“I play with Dan James every day, so there’s quite a few of us that play it quite regularly.”
It is understood that United are getting close to agreeing a deal with BVB over a deal to bring Sancho back to England.
SunSport have reported how the potential transfer could be completed by the end of the week.
The 20-year-old is poised to join United in a record £110million deal, with the player to pen a four-year contract at the Theatre of Dreams, with the option on the club’s side of extending it by a further year.
It is believed he will wear the iconic No7 shirt – last worn by flop Alexis Sanchez.
Sancho will return to Manchester three years after departing when he left the Etihad in 2017 to join Dortmund for £8m.
The exciting forward has been in stunning form this season – chipping in with 20 goals and 20 assists in 44 games in all competitions.
