5 Jadon Sancho alternatives for Manchester United

#3 Memphis Depay | Lyon

Netherlands v Northern Ireland - UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier

Memphis Depay is a familiar name for the Old Trafford faithful and represents an out of the box solution for Manchester United if they fail to land Sancho. The Dutchman spent a season and a half at the Theatre of Dreams but failed to live up to the hype, as he was offloaded to Lyon in January 2017.

Since them, Memphis has kicked on and began to realize his true potential, having established himself as one of the most exciting players in Ligue 1. Blessed with incredible dribbling ability, the Dutchman also boasts a strong technique and is capable of winning games on his own with moments of magic.

In an injury-laden season for Lyon, Memphis has racked up 15 goals and two assists for the French side and is set to play a pivotal role for them in the Champions League.

Manchester United reportedly inserted a buyback clause when they sold him to Lyon and could look to trigger it if they are in desperate need of another attacker.

#2 Said Benrahma | Brentford

Brentford v Cardiff City - Sky Bet Championship

Said Benrahma is one of the most exciting players in the Championship and nearly spearheaded Brentford to the Premier League. However, the Bees were beaten in the playoff final by Fulham, as the Algerian winger enjoyed a bitter end to a highly successful league season.

Brentford are expected to see a bidding war for Benrahma in the coming days, as the 24-year-old proved time and again in the 2019-20 season and that he is far too good to be playing in the Championship.

With 17 goals and ten assists to his name, Benrahma could be an option for Manchester United if a deal for Sancho fails to materialize. The former Nice man is also a target for fellow Premier League side Chelsea, who are looking to bolster their squad further this summer.

#1 Ousmane Dembele | Barcelona

FC Barcelona v Sevilla FC - La Liga

The mercurial Ousmane Dembele has endured yet another injury-hit season, as his Barcelona career continues to turn into a nightmare. Since arriving from Dortmund in the summer of 2017 as a replacement for the PSG bound Neymar, Dembele has struggled with a wide range of problems on and off the pitch.

However, Barcelona still hold him in high regard due to his outrageous natural ability and matchwinning capabilities. Dembele is amongst the most exciting players to watch when fully-fit and is capable of scoring goals as well as creating them.

Additionally, he is blessed with devastating pace and two-footed ability, making him one of the hardest attackers to defend against. The World Cup winner has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Arsenal as he looks to get his career back on track.

Manchester United could turn to the former Dortmund man as a short-term fix and could attempt to sign him on a loan deal if Sancho remains in the Bundesliga this summer.
