Manchester United are close to agreeing a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.
United are longtime admirers of the England international and had hoped to secure their signature last summer. However, the two clubs could not agree on a fee with the German side who refused to lower their request for 100 million pounds.
The Red Devils resumed their interest in Sancho at the end of last season and were reportedly rejecting a bid of around £ 67 million.

The Red Devils’ hierarchy has outlined five key areas in their squad that they desperately want to strengthen this summer, with a striker, a defensive midfielder, center-back and right-back on their wish list along with a winger.
Sancho is currently away in international service with England at Euro 2020, but so far he has seen his playing time limited. The Dortmund man has only played once in Gareth Southgate’s side three outings after coming off the bench in his 1-0 victory against the Czech Republic.
