Jadon Sancho dropped a subtle hint that he could be set for a move to Manchester United during an Instagram Live video on Sunday evening.
The 20-year-old Dortmund forward is one of the most highly-sought after young players in the world thanks to his scintillating performances in the Bundesliga.
The likes of United, Liverpool and Chelsea have been linked with a big-money move, but judging from his activity on social media it would appear that Old Trafford is Sancho’s preferred destination.
During his video, one fan wrote to the player saying: “Sip water if your (sp) joining united.”
Sancho appears to consider this for a moment, before taking a big gulp of his bottled water.
The reaction sent United supporters into meltdown on Twitter, with one user posting “IT’S HAPPENING!!!” while another added “It was always going to happen.”
It remains to be seen whether a bid comes in for the player from United in the summer, but Dortmund are not expected to accept any offers lower than £100m for the England international.
Sancho’s hint will no doubt come as a boost to striker Marcus Rashford, who has waxed lyrical about the player in recent weeks, and has admitted that he would love to play alongside him at club level.
When asked about a possible move for Sancho on Instagram Q&A with Bleacher Report, Rashford said: “It obviously would be good, Sancho’s a great player, a new generation player.
“It’s definitely exciting to watch him become the player he’s becoming.
