United ‘ready to accelerate interest’ in Leon Bailey as potential Sancho alternative
3 hours ago , Uttiyo Sarkar
The Red Devils have been impressed with his performances for Bayer Leverkusen over the last week.
Now United are reportedly ready to take a step forward in negotiating a deal for him.
Chelsea and Manchester City are also said to be interested in the skilful winger.

Man United are taking serious interest in grooming Leon Bailey as a possible alternative to Jadon Sancho in the summer.

According to the Daily Mail, a tier-two source, the Red Devils are ready to accelerate their interest in him after watching him excel against FC Koln in mid-week. Bailey delivered two assists in 3-1 win over the Bundesliga side on Wednesday, something which caught United’s attention.

They are now reportedly ready to step up their chase but will face competition for him, with Chelsea and Manchester City also said to be interested. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were reported to be lining up a £40m bid for Bailey recently and might be moving towards that after watching the winger’s recent performances.


Bailey is probably being monitored just in case the Sancho deal falls through. With Borussia Dortmund not ready to sell him for anything less than €100m, United are perhaps keeping their options open.

The Bayer Leverkusen winger has scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists in all competitions for the Bundesliga side this season and could be a good fit to United with his silky style.
