Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho is DESPERATE to join Manchester United before the market shuts.

Dagbladet says Sancho missed Borussia Dortmund's Super Cup defeat to Bayern Munich as he is trying to push through a move to United.

Sancho has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer and reports suggested a bid had been turned down earlier this week.

There is less than one week left of the transfer window with the deadline being on Monday as Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to strengthen.

The forward missed Dortmund's 3-2 Super Cup defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday with reports suggesting he has a respiratory illness.

But its claimed that he actually missed out in an attempt to push through a move to United.
