Jadon Sancho could become a Manchester United player by the end of the week. Ed Woodward is reportedly serious when it comes to landing the 20-year-old with a new offer at the ready. And it looks like it won’t be just ‘for show’ as the Red Devils look to strengthen their squad with one week of the transfer window remaining.
Manchester United have had a quiet transfer window so far, with Donny van de Beek their only arrival.
And with a week to go, Ed Woodward is determined to strike a deal that will see Sancho make a sensational move to Old Trafford.
The English international flourished in Germany last year, scoring 17 goals and recording 17 assists in 34 Bundesliga games, when Dortmund finished second in the league standings behind Bayern Munich.
And he’s gotten off to an impressive start to the current season, putting talk of a move away from the Westfalenstadion behind him by finding the net once and recording an assist along the way.
United are ready to make a new offer this week to sign Sancho.
And journalist Constantin Eckner has claimed it will not be just ‘for show’, with the club determined to bring the former Manchester City star back to the Premier League.
Premier League deals: all transfers confirmed in the summer window so far
Sancho has been itching to join United all summer, despite previously donning the sky blue jerseys of rival City.
But he has been reluctant to move the boat with his current club, aware of all that Dortmund have done for him during his three years at the Westfalenstadion.
Meanwhile, former Liverpool star John Barnes believes United should stop taking an interest in Sancho and go after Napoli powerhouse Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Red Devils have already delivered five goals from just two Premier League games this season.
And Barnes said: “Manchester United should look to sign a player like Kalidou Koulibaly, he has all the trademarks of a player that they need at the heart of defense.
“On top of that, they should definitely sign a defensive midfielder as they look pretty weak there.
