How Man Utd could line up with Maddison instead of Lingard and £100m Sancho running the right wing
MANCHESTER UNITED are desperate to sign England stars Jadon Sancho and James Maddison.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made the Three Lions pair his top priorities as he continues to focus on young, homegrown talent.
Old Trafford chiefs already splurged on British stars Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James this summer.
And Solskjaer is now plotting another big raid as he bids to bring back the glory days to the red half of Manchester.
Should he land his top targets, United's squad would look all the more impressive for the 2020-21 season.
David De Gea, fresh from finally signing a new contract at the club, would retain his No1 spot.
Wan-Bissaka and Maguire would line-up in defence alongside Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw.
But the major boost comes further up the pitch, with Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay joined by creative spark Maddison.
The Leicester ace, 22, earned a call-up to the England squad after a spate of impressive performances.
James, thought to be one for the future, has scored three goals and made four assists for the Red Devils this season.

Joined by Marcus Rashford, ever improving in his quest to be an out-and-out No9 - he could have Sancho on the other flank.
The Borussia Dortmund star, 19, could cost the club anywhere between £100million and £150m - and is the one of the hottest prospects in world football.
United are being tipped to stick with the squad they have this season and avoid any January signings in a bid to be able to afford the English stars.
