Burki insists Man Utd target Sancho not sad about staying at Borussia Dortmund

Jadon Sancho has no problems with staying at Borussia Dortmund, according to teammate Roman Burki.

The 20-year-old winger is a priority target for Manchester United, who still hold hopes they can lure him to Old Trafford despite Dortmund's protestations.

Despite Sancho keen on a move to his native England, Burki insists the former Manchester City man is happy to spend the season at Signal Iduna Park.

"I wasn't 100 per cent expecting him to stay, but I hoped he would," he told Kicker when asked about Sancho.

"It has always been clear that you have to pay a certain amount of money to buy a player of his quality but because of the coronavirus pandemic, it's not as easy for the clubs as it was before.

"I don't believe Jadon is sad that he will continue with Borussia Dortmund. He comes to training with a smile on his face and is happy to be with us.

"Jadon is still a top player next year. Time is not running out for him. Besides, he has developed as a personality.

"I am not aware of any current events that give cause for criticism. Jadon hasn't done anything wrong in two-and-a-half weeks of pre-season so far."
