“It’s common and fine for players to go home before a training camp if they’re not risky. The same goes for Jadon [Sancho]. From our point of view, the pictures that have been shown to us so far do not violate.”

This is likely to hurt United’s chances of signing the 20-year-old. Dortmund had issued us a deadline of 10th August to get the deal over the line.
