The report states that Jadon Sancho had agreed personal terms with Manchester United a few months back and is now pushing for a move to Old Trafford before the transfer window shuts on October 5. Reports from The Guardian claim that Sancho would 'love to join Manchester United' and has agreed on a whopping £250,000-a-week wages after the club offered "£90m plus £18m add-ons” to Borussia Dortmund in August. Sancho's fee is expected to be paid in instalments over the “next two to three years."

Man United transfer news: Dortmund's firm stance on Jadon Sancho
A few weeks ago, Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc insisted that Jadon Sancho will continue to play his football at the Signal Iduna Park this coming season. He previously claimed that Sancho would not be sold for anything less than £108m (€120m) if any European club were keen on his services. United felt that Sancho's valuation was 'unreal' due to the financial ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic. Sancho is currently at pre-season training with Dortmund and Sky Sports presenter Dharmesh Sheth has warned United not to leave anything too late because Dortmund might close the door for any potential transfer towards the end of the transfer window.
