Former Manchester United player Clayton Blackmore claims he could have saved the club £72m by signing Jadon Sancho for as little as £100,000 when he was a 16-year-old Manchester City player.
Sancho joined City from Watford's academy for around £500,000 in 2015, before working his way through the City Football Academy and leaving for Borussia Dortmund in search of first team progression in 2017 for around £8m.
After shining in the Bundesliga and earning his international debut with England, Sancho joined United in the summer for £72.9m — with City earning around £10m of that fee as part of a sell-on clause included in the deal to sell him to Dortmund.
