The former Liverpool defender thinks that the Reds will go for the ex-Manchester City winger at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
Carragher, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that if Manchester United want to sign the 20-year-old winger, then they should make a move for him now.
According to ESPN, United are interested in signing the England international winger in the summer transfer window.
Carragher told The Mirror: “United have got a clear run at Sancho now – but that will change if he’s still at Dortmund next year.
“I’d be very surprised if Liverpool didn’t try to sign him next summer. That’s why I think United will pay what they have got to pay.”
Could Jadon Sancho end up at Liverpool?
Sancho has progressed and developed a lot at Dortmund, and one suspects that the German club will sell him at a very high price when the time is right.
Things should improve financially by next summer, and Liverpool could have quite a bit of money to spend.
Sancho would be a year older then, and if he plays well this season and continues to progress, then he could end up at Liverpool next summer.
According to WhoScored, the 20-year-old England international winger scored 17 goals and provided 16 assists in the Bundesliga, and scored two goals and provided two assists in the Champions League for Dortmund last season.
