Jadon Sancho transfer: Dortmund winger ‘buzzing’ to join Man United as deal picks up pace

The club will look to do more business with a move for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, who has been a long term target for the Premier League giants and their top priority this summer. The England international is one of the brightest young talents in Europe and Manchester United are keen on bringing the player to Old Trafford in a pursuit that has been arguably the worst-kept secret in world football.
