Sancho has been a long-term target for United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is widely seen as leading the line to eventually bring Sancho to Old Trafford.
However, Thomas Tuchel has now reportedly revealed that he would like to lure the winger to London, and with Borussia Dortmund expected to lower the asking price for the 20-year-old, Chelsea now appear on high alert.
Sancho could be available for € 105million, a figure that would help the German club allay their growing financial concerns, but also encourage more clubs to try their luck by signing him.

Romelu Lukaku could be on the move this summer, and Calciomercato believe Paris Saint-Germain are ahead of the star signing from Internazionale.
