Manchester United has finally moved one more step closer to adding Jadon Sancho to their ranks. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Sancho has completed his medical and is all set to be unveiled as the new Man United player.
He completed his medical at the Carrington base and the official announcement will be made soon. The official kit number and pictures will be revealed as well. Man United was poised to complete a deal as soon as Sancho returns back from the Euros.
He has already signed a contract till 2026 and is set to earn £350,000 a week’s wages. He will be the second-highest earner in the squad just behind David De Gea who earns a whopping £375,000.

He would be the third most expensive deal ever for Manchester United (£75m), behind Harry Maguire (£85m) and Paul Pogba (£89m) in their all-time transfer list.
Meanwhile, Solksjaer is optimistic about his stars returning on time for their first Premier League clash against Leeds United. Sancho may play if he returns on time from his vacation. With the deal now fully sealed, Manchester United can focus on the deal for Raphael Varane and Camavinga.
Sancho has been a sensation for Borussia Dortmund, scoring 50 goals and providing 64 assists in just 137 appearances. He can play on both wings. In the last three seasons, twice he played on the right-wing, and one season he played on the left-wing. He has still managed to score and assists through both positions.
Solksjaer would be the perfect manager for Jadon Sancho right now. After his penalty miss against Italy, we hope that he will get the much-needed motivation under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and continue to shine at Old Trafford.
