Sancho has been linked with a move back to England just four years after leaving Manchester City for Dortmund.

And Man Utd have watched on in awe as the 21-year-old England international dazzled in Germany.

Sancho has impressively scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 games for Dortmund, which has attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

“It’s just how you handle that on the pitch. You’ve got to keep doing what you’re doing; if you keep on doing that then I’m sure that won’t be a problem.

“The main thing is my football and that’s what I’m focusing on at the moment.”

Sancho is away on international duty with England for this summer’s Euros and he is well within manager Gareth Southgate‘s plans.

England kick off their Euro 2020 campaign against Croatia on Saturday, and they will be looking to get revenge for 2018’s World Cup semi-final loss.

Man Utd, as well as a host of other clubs, will have to wait until after this summer’s tournament before making a move.
