Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish transfer to Man United on cards

Man United have been linked with Jadon Sancho for long. Although a deal fell by the wayside last summer, the club's interest hasn't subsided a bit, according to Manchester Evening News. The Old Trafford outfit has been provided with a significant boost as Borussia Dortmund now look to trade-off the player on a relatively lesser price than previously demanded. 

Apart from the Jadon Sancho transfer, Man United have been keeping a close tab on Jack Grealish. Man United legend Bryan Robson has expressed his obeisance to the England midfielder, stating he wouldn't mind seeing the terrific player don the red shirt next summer. But Man United might have to shell out £100 million to seal the Jack Grealish transfer.

Will Haaland join Man United next summer?

Erling Haaland was close to joining Man United last summer, but a deal fell through in the end. The Borussia Dortmund striker is still on the Premier League outfit's radar. Speaking on the same, his father Alf-Inge, in interaction with Sport1, has lauded the club's success. The striker has a £66.6 million release clause which comes into effect in June 2022. 

Man United are also looking at young players and have emerged as the favourites to sign Palmeiras forward Gabriel Veron.

With eight goals and an equal number of assists to his credit, he is considered a brilliant prospect in Brazil and might come at a cheap price, with the Brazilian club willing to settle for £17 million.
