Virtually certain Man Utd will sign Jadon Sancho: report

Jadon Sancho looks to be closer than ever to sealing a transfer to Manchester United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a well-known admirer of Jadon Sancho. The young Englishman was close to sealing an Old Trafford switch last summer, though that deal would sadly never happen.

As you’d expect, United have been heavily linked with a move to sign Sancho again this summer. Over the last 24 hours, it does appear that there has been a major breakthrough in talks.

The latest update comes from the BBC, who state that it’s now ‘virtually certain’ United will ‘eventually’ conclude the transfer of the Borussia Dortmund star this summer.

United have increased their offer to £72m to acquire Sancho, though while that offer is likely to be rejected, there is genuine belief that an agreement will be reached before the end of the transfer window.


Sancho, who is currently away with England at the European Championships, has barely played under Gareth Southgate – which I guess is a good thing for us as we’re definitely going to need him next season.

Honestly, this is music to our ears. Sancho is a world-class talent and someone who can make that right-wing slot his own as soon as he walks through the Old Trafford entrance doors.

Although this deal is likely to cost somewhere above £80million, Sancho is 21, meaning he could realistically offer us a decade of service at the absolute highest level. What’s not to like about that?

Slowly but surely, Solskjaer is building a juggernaut of a squad that will be able to go toe-to-toe with the best sides in Europe. Sancho is just another part of that.

Hopefully, we hear something official on this transfer soon, though I still think it’ll be when England’s EURO 2020 campaign ends.
