Jadon Sancho is very sure to join Manchester United this summer following the club’s improved bid for the Borussia Dortmund winger.
Manchester United has returned for Sancho after their bids for the player were officially turned down by Borussia Dortmund last year, with the Red Devils having presented a second and improved bid of around €85m (£72.6m) in the wake of seeing an initial offer turned down recently.
The second bid is still around €10m shy of the Bundesliga side’s valuation of England’s winger and is expected to be dismissed. The Guardian now confirms that United has made a bid that somewhat matches Dortmund’s valuations, not totally but it still seems enough to convince them to sell Sancho.
Manchester United are prepared to pay €85m for Jadon Sancho. #MUFC confirm the intention to include add ons: payment structure to be discussed now. 🔴
Personal terms and agents fee already agreed.

Gareth Southgate’s side next faces Germany in the round of 16 at Wembley on Tuesday evening and it will surely be a blockbuster match to watch.
Manchester United has made the signing of Sancho their main target with the 21-year-old having prospered since moving to Dortmund from Manchester City four years ago, forming into quite possibly the most dangerous winger in Europe and being straightforwardly involved with 109 goals across only 137 appearances.
Sancho will add to the Red Devils’ attacking options and tackle the club’s main issue at the wings, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer likewise also focusing on bringing a center-back and a right-back. Sancho’s former club Manchester City will likewise get a bonus from the deal, having inserted a 15% sell-on clause in the contract that took Sancho from the Etihad to Dortmund.
