Rumour Has It: Man Utd to use Lingard in sensational Sancho swap deal

The long-term futures of Jesse Lingard and Jadon Sancho are set to become clearer soon.

Lingard has impressed on loan from Manchester United at West Ham, reviving his career as David Moyes’ side push to secure European football for next season.

England international Sancho, meanwhile, has dazzled since moving to Germany – but is he now ready to return home?

TOP STORY – LINGARD AND SANCHO TO SWAP PLACES

The Sun reports that Manchester United will offer Jesse Lingard to Borussia Dortmund as part of a swap deal for Jadon Sancho.

United chased Sancho last year but were unable to land the winger due to Dortmund’s asking price.

It is understood the value held by the Bundesliga club is around £100million (€116m), so Lingard’s inclusion may help drive that down and seal a deal.
