Former England defender Danny Mills has told Jadon Sancho there would be ‘no point’ in completing a move to Manchester United if the team continue to finish outside the Champions League qualification places in the Premier League.

Sancho is regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in European football after another exceptional campaign in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund in which the 20-year-old has racked up 14 goals and 15 assists.

The Red Devils have identified Sancho as one of their top targets ahead of the summer transfer window, along with the likes of Harry Kane, Jack Grealish and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer desperate to add quality to his attacking options.

It’s understood both United and Chelsea are prepared to shell out £100million on Sancho and Dortmund are now resigned to the fact the Manchester City academy graduate will be playing his football in England next season.

However, ex-City and Leeds full-back Mills believes Sancho is in a ‘position of strength’ and has urged the youngster to ask serious questions of United before agreeing to a transfer move.

Mills told talkSPORT: ‘If I was Jadon Sancho I’d be wanting to ask the questions: “Who else are you bringing in? What other signings have you got lined up? What is the squad going to look like next season? Are you realistically going to be challenging for things? Who is going to be the manager… is it still going to be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer next?”

‘He’s in a position of strength at the moment. He wants to go and win things, that’s the most important thing.

‘He’s going from a fantastic club, he’s gone through his development phase, he’s now going to start hitting the peak development phase and he wants that to be the best years.

‘There’s no point going to Manchester United next season if they’re going to finish sixth or seventh.’

Earlier this week, Marcus Rashford talked up a move for Sancho and claimed his England colleague has all the ability to become a world-class player.

‘It would be good [if Jadon Sancho joined],’ the United attacker told Bleacher Report when pressed on the recent rumours.

‘Sancho is a great player. He’s like the new generation player. It’s definitely exciting to watch the player he’s becoming — hopefully we can all play together. That would be good.

‘He plays off the cuff. He’s imaginative. I think in this generation, they’re the things you need to be world class.’
