Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc admits that Jadon Sancho is unlikely to stay at the club for the long term amid reported interest from Manchester United.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has admitted that the long-term future of winger Jadon Sancho is unlikely to be at the Westfalenstadion.

The 19-year-old burst onto the scene last season with 12 goals and 14 assists in the Bundesliga, and he has continued that form so far this term with three goals and four assists in just six league games.

Manchester United have been most heavily linked with a move for Sancho, while a number of other top clubs around Europe have also been credited with an interest in the youngster.

Dortmund would likely command a fee of around £100m for the attacker, and Zorc acknowledged that he is likely to leave the club sooner or later.

"No decision has been made. But you don't have to be a prophet to know he won't play here for another five years," he told Kicker.

"He has taken this positive development [at Dortmund]. I doubt that would have been possible with top English clubs. We trust the players very early, and we are not afraid to let them play. He acknowledges that.

"He's an instinctive footballer, a street footballer, he's always a footballer, but he's always setting new limits. He does not sit back satisfied. He wants to play football successfully and beautifully. That alone is his motivation."

Sancho's current contract at Dortmund runs until 2022, while his terms contain a first-refusal clause for former club Manchester City.
