Manchester United are reportedly considering four alternatives to Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho in the latter stages of the transfer window.

Manchester United are reportedly considering four alternatives to Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho as the club look to sign a new attacker before the transfer window slams shut.

Sancho has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford over the last few months, but the Red Devils have thus far been unable to reach an agreement with Dortmund.

The England international is said to be pushing for a move to the 20-time English champions, but according to Sky Sports News, the club have identified four alternatives in the event that they are unable to complete a deal.

The report claims that Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele is a loan option, while Watford's Ismaila Sarr is viewed as a potential arrival in the latter stages of the window.

Edinson Cavani - now a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain - is also said to be a possible target, in addition to Luka Jovic, who could be allowed to leave Real Madrid on loan.

United have spent just shy of £40m during this summer's transfer window, bringing Netherlands international Donny van de Beek to Old Trafford from Ajax.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will allegedly make two more signings before the deadline, though, with Porto's Alex Telles also viewed as a leading target at this stage of the window.
