Borussia Dortmund rule out January sale of Manchester United target

Borussia Dortmund have unequivocally ruled out Jadon Sancho's departure this month amid interest from the Premier League, reports Sky Sports.

Sancho has been heavily linked with a return to England in the last six months after developing into one of the hottest prospects in Europe.

The England international is at the top of Chelsea and Manchester United's wanted lists but both may have to look elsewhere for new wingers this month.

Sancho was disciplined by Dortmund in the build up to the January transfer market for reporting back to the club late after the November international break.

It sparked suggestions Dortmund would look to cash in on Sancho this month rather than at the end of the season.

However, Lucien Favre's side do not plan to sell the £100m-rated teenager this month, as the Bundesliga side gear up for the Champions League knockout stage.

Sancho is currently the third highest WhoScored rated player in the Bundesliga this season (7.79) and has played a direct hand in 18 goals in 15 league appearances (nine goals, nine assists).
