Man Utd: Solskjaer praises Anthony Martial after Sheffield win
Manchester United want to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund this summer and they look set to beat the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid. Ed Woodward is ready to fund a mega move with the Bundesliga side wanting more than £100million for the England winger.

The Reds have already missed out on signing Timo Werner with the RB Leipzig forward joining Chelsea this summer instead.
And Real are unlikely to make a bid in excess of £100m in the post-coronavirus world.
Dortmund are determined to keep Sancho at the club for at least one more season though and will offer him a big bumper contract to entice him to stay put.
A move for Sancho from United could ultimately hinge on the Red Devils qualifying for the Champions League.
