Manchester United are firmly opposed to selling star midfielder Paul Pogba this summer, but if he does leave, they will use the money for a new marquee signing in Jadon Sancho.

The two of course play in different positions on the pitch and Sancho would in no way be a direct replacement for Pogba, but he would be the kind of big signing to help ease the pain of the Frenchman's exit after his stunning season with Borussia Dortmund.

According to 'The Sun', United will prepare a big money move for the young winger if they do finally give in and agree to sell the World Cup winner. If they do sell him, they will hoping to bring in over 100 million Euros that they can reinvest in other players.

And some of this money, possibly a large sum of it, would be spent on the 19 year-old, who would certainly not come cheap from Dortmund. With a contract that runs until 2022 and a 90 million Euro market value, it's probable that Pogba's sale would only just cover a move for the English starlet.
