Marcus Rashford is proving key in Manchester United's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.

That's according to BILD's chief of sport, Christian Falk.

He told lfctransferroom: “So far we have no sign that Liverpool has ever had interest in Jadon Sancho, and if Jurgen Klopp really wanted to sign him, Dortmund would have already known that – Klopp would never try and bring a player from BVB without first contacting the German side.

“Manchester United has been chasing him for months.

“He is good friends with Rashford and they keep close contact with one another."
