Jadon Sancho 'will only be let go for a lot of money' says expert
Jadon Sancho is poised to join Manchester United in a matter of days, with the 20-year-old on a cusp of a stunning move. And reports have claimed Mason Greenwood is likely to be dropped to make room the England international. The 18-year-old has sparkled this season but his young age supposedly makes him primed to become the fall guy.

Greenwood has been given regular minutes by Solskjaer, who sold both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku to bring him into the first team.
And Greenwood is only likely to be benched because of his young age, with Solskjaer unlikely to field him twice a week throughout the course of the season.
While that’s the case, United legend Gary Neville recently expressed a belief that Greenwood could end up ousting Martial from the No 9 spot.
"I think that comparing him to the two people in the team at the moment in Martial and Rashford is probably more fair [than a possible incoming deal],” he said.
“I think those two I've just mentioned have taken a few years to get to the levels that they're producing.
"I think he's intelligent on the pitch. He can do things the other two can't do.
“I think he's a better finisher. And I think he'll end up taking that No.9 spot in the next probably 12 to 18 months.
"At the moment it fits for him to be on that right hand side but if United were to buy a right-sided player, which is what's being speculated, then I can't see anyway in which Mason Greenwood wouldn't be in the team...if he continues to perform at the level he is now.
"I think he's the best striker Manchester United have and I'll think he'll score as many goals as he wants to.
