Manchester United have picked former Manchester City player Rabbi Matondo as a back-up if their pursuit of Jadon Sancho falls through.
The Red Devils have been chasing the Borussia Dortmund starlet since the last summer transfer window. And several pundits believe Ole Gunnar Solslkjaer is in a prime position to land the young Englishman, who has impressed since arriving in the Bundesliga from rivals Manchester City.
But MEN reports that United are also looking at a back-up in Matondo, who has a similar background to Sancho. The 19-year-old is regarded in the same “low-risk buy” bracket as Daniel James, who was brought in from Swansea City when a summer move for the forward failed.
