Man Utd ‘most serious contender’ for Sancho signing says expert
Manchester United may only move to sign Jadon Sancho this summer to make a marquee signing which appeases their supporters, according to Sky Sports expert Jeff Stelling. Borussia Dortmund have slapped a £100million price tag on the England international's head and are unlikely to budge on their valuation.

United are expected to use the summer transfer window to attempt to close the gap on the Premier League's top sides.
But Stelling thinks it could take a few years to break Liverpool and Manchester City's dominance.
"They are such a humongous club they just need the success on the field to match that status," Stelling added.
"It might still be a little while away but who knows.

"The break might have done Paul Pogba good, he wasn't performing but might when we come back.
"I think United are getting closer that's for sure but if you looked at them compared to Liverpool they are still a long way off."
Prostate Cancer UK
On Tuesday 2nd June Prostate Cancer UK shared their latest statistics which show that prostate cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK for the first time. This news comes 10 years earlier than previously predicted due largely to increased awareness of the disease in recent years.
Prostate Cancer UK will be using this to highlight the need for more research to tackle the disease. However, the COVID-19 crisis has put much of this research at risk and the charity is calling for support to raise the millions of pounds it estimates is needed to get prostate cancer research back on track.
Jeff Stelling said: "The big thing about this is football has been a fantastic supporter of Prostate Cancer UK. You see the boys on Soccer Saturday wearing their badges but you see football managers all across the division wearing them too as that has helped to raise the awareness.
"But Prostate Cancer UK, like every other charity, has taken a massive hit by the coronavirus. All the big fund raisers, like the London marathon, have not happened, so there has been nothing coming in.
"Even when we are through lockdown charities are going to find it much harder to raise fund so what that means principally is that operations on people like prostate cancer sufferers has been put back by a significant amount.
"The thing is with prostate cancer is early diagnosis and early treatment massively increases your chances of beating it but that early diagnosis and early treatment isn't happening at the moment because of coronavirus."
