Man Utd are ready to go all in on a Bundesliga attacker, while Newcastle are set to make a loan move for a Chelsea star – all in Monday’s papers.
MAN UTD READY TO SPLASH THE CASH FOR SANCHO
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to meet Borussia Dortmund’s demands as they attempt to sign Jadon Sancho.
England international Sancho is expected to have a £100million price tag slapped on him, at the very least, but that will not put United off making a move, according to the Daily Mirror.
The flying winger moved to the Bundesliga giants in 2017 after failing to earn regular game time at Manchester City and has gone on to
score 18 times and provide 30 assists in 68 appearances for Dortmund – prompting several of Europe’s biggest hitters to sit up and take notice.
Sancho has previously been strongly linked with Real Madrid, who are still searching for Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-term replacement, while United’s sustained interest comes after they gave up hope of bringing Gareth Bale back to the Premier League.
The potential arrival of Sancho at Old Trafford also fits in with the ethos of current Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who wants to sign young, hungry homegrown talent to build the club’s future around.
