4 cheaper Jadon Sancho alternatives for Manchester United

#2 Ousmane Dembele

After such a blistering spell of football at Borussia Dortmund, Ousmane Dembele, deemed to replace Neymar at Barcelona, thus far, has failed to live up to his promise at Camp Nou. Suffering from a string of injury issues, the Frenchman failed to nail down his spot in the starting lineup.

Featuring for the club with sky-high stakes, Dembele has witnessed the addition of competition in Philippe Coutinho, Antoine Greizmann, and Lautaro Martinez- who is linked with a move to Barcelona.

Now with Barcelona in need of a few reinforcements ahead of the next season, the club faces a tricky situation due to financial losses incurred due to COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, the Azulgranas have pulled off Arthur Melo-Miralem Pjanic swap deal.

To execute further deals, Josep Maria Bartomeu, Barcelona president, will need to generate funds by selling a few superstars. It is understood that Ousmane Dembele is among those who are present on club’s selling list.

Knowing how low Dembele’s stocks have stooped, it’s understood that Blaugranas could be willing to sell the France international for a fee around €40m.

Recently, supporting this development, The Athletic have put out their story, recently, saying Manchester United could consider the 23-year-old as a cheaper alternative to Jadon Sancho.

Considering the worrying injury record of the ambipedal winger, Manchester United could maintain their reservations about signing Ousmane Dembele this summer. Yet, stranger things have happened in football and the Frenchman could be an opportunity away from resurrecting his career.

#1 Federico Chiesa

Ever since Federico Chiesa’s breakthrough at Fiorentina, the Italian prospect has been touted to eclipse the playing career of his father, Enrico Chiesa.

Despite making decent progress at La Viola, Chiesa is yet to reach the levels to fulfil his potential. The Italy international has to work on adding the final product and improve his decision making to enhance his attacking output.

Several stories emerging from Italy have found the lack of consistent coaching to be one of the reasons for his intermittent development. Yet, keeping Chiesa’s promising prospect, Juventus have shown their concrete interest in signing the Italian winger.

Playing as a right-winger, Chiesa could also play up front and his versatility could be an appealing factor for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Also, Federico Chiesa could improve his trade under Solskjaer’s coaching, citing the progress of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Mason Greenwood under the Norwegian’s stewardship.

Recently, according to our report, Manchester United were said to be interested in attaining the services of Federico Chiesa with first opening bid already offered to ACF Fiorentina. But, the young attacker is seeking options to stay in his homeland.

Given Red Devils’ steadfast pursuit of Jadon Sancho, it would be interesting to see how this story develops in the near future.
