Borussia Dortmund winger Sancho responds to Man Utd pressure claims

Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho denies he's been unsettled by summer transfer interest from Manchester United.

United identified the England international as their priority target in the summer but were unable to strike a deal with Borussia Dortmund for his signature.

The 20-year-old looked somewhat back to his best as he netted for England in their 3-0 friendly win over Republic of Ireland on Thursday night and after the game he was asked if transfer speculation had distracted him.

"Nah, I don't think so," he told ITV Sport.

“I feel like every player has a little dip in their career, and I feel I'm going through that at the moment. It is just how I'm bouncing back and I am just happy to have managers who have faith in and keep sight of me."
