Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has trodden the same path as Jadon Sancho from Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund and is also under the guidance of the same agent, Emeka Obasi. United might hope he also returns to the red side of Manchester.
Like Sancho, Bynoe-Gittens hails from London, sports the '7' for Dortmund and operates from the flank. His 16th-minute goal on the breakaway was typical of Dortmund, their thread from first to youth team very much apparent. Bynoe-Gittens' second was more individualistic but no less admirable. United centre-back Rhys Bennett was beaten by pace and the goalkeeper Radek Vitek by the power of the shot.
Obasi moved Bynoe-Gittens to Dortmund from City in 2020 to keep them sweet ahead of the inevitable departure of Sancho, whom United first tried to sign as a 17-year-old in 2017 and again 18 months ago. With Dortmund such a fading force they were relegated from the Champions League group stage to the Europa League and ejected from that last week by Rangers, Bynoe-Gittens' promotion could be fast-tracked.
