According to a report on the Sancho transfer by Mirror Sport, Man United have decided to submit a bid to Dortmund for the final time. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are ready to pay £90 million to seal the Sancho transfer. This sum would be split into £75 million up front, followed by an additional £15 million in add-ons. 

The report also claims that Ed Woodward, executive vice-chairman of Man United, will inform Dortmund that there shall be no further negotiations over the structure or the fee of the deal. However, that does not quite mean that this offer will be outright accepted by Dortmund, who have more than stood firm so far in their valuation.

Man United transfer news: Andy Cole speaks on Sancho transfer 

With just one signing this summer, Man United have been lagging behind in the race to bolster their squad. Club icon Andy Cole believes that the Old Trafford outfit should opt out of the Sancho transfer. Speaking to TEAMTalk, Cole claimed that the Sancho transfer to Man United will not guarantee the club any success in the Premier League. 

He asserted that the 20-year-old is indeed a talented player but, Man United could well sign a player other than Sancho who could go on to achieve more success than the England international. He further urged Solskjaer to rope in two or three more players in the amount that the club is willing to spend on the Sancho transfer.
