Manchester United should spend big to bring this England duo,
Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and West Ham
United ‘s Declan Rice to the club, according to
former Red Devils midfielder Owen Hargreaves.
The 20-time English champions are said to be
confident of securing a deal for Sancho in next
summer’s transfer window, while Rice has also been
linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Hargreaves has claimed that Sancho “would be a
perfect player” for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ‘s side,
while the former England international has also
called for Rice to be a big-money target.
“Sancho would be a perfect player for this team,”
Hargreaves told BT Sport . “And they need a No.9 –
whoever that might be. At some time they are going
to have to invest because we have seen
[Manchester] City and Liverpool, they’ve bought
players who have made a real difference. “Eventually you have to buy. Declan Rice fits in here,
whether he costs £50m or £60m. He fits the mould
of young and British.
“Jadon Sancho is nailed on for this team. Even if he
costs £120m, he is there for a decade so you
almost can’t overspend on him. When you buy, buy
players who will play. They cannot afford those
misses any more.”
Mason Greenwood scored his first senior goal as
United recorded a 1-0 win over Astana in their
Europa League Group L opener on Thursday night.
Solskjaer’s team will now look to make it three
straight victories in all competitions when they travel
to West Ham United in the Premier League on
Sunday afternoon.
