Man Utd: Pundits discuss possible Jadon Sancho transfer
Manchester United have finally agreed to pay Borussia Dortmund's asking price for Jadon Sancho, according to transfer expert Ian McGarry. United have been attempting to lower the fee for Sancho after agreeing a five-year contract with the England international. But Dortmund have not budged and the Red Devils have now agreed to pay the Bundesliga side €110million (£100m), with €80m (£72m) up front and the remainder in add-ons.
Sancho is United's No 1 target for this transfer window and McGarry says they are edging closer to getting their man.
"We're going to start with the update on the Borussia Dortmund winger," McGarry said on the Transfer Window podcast.
"We did bring you the news that a contract of five years and wages had been agreed with Manchester United and that it just remained for the Old Trafford club to fix a fee with Borussia Dortmund.
"We can exclusively reveal to you that United have agreed in principle to meet an asking price from Dortmund of €110m.

“Obviously he’s going to bring a lot of creativity, he’s a very fast and skilful player, he can play on both wings, he’s two-footed, he’s played overseas so can handle that pressure of leaving his family.
“He’s got it all for someone of such a young age – he’s only 20.
“Like I said before, he’s a world-class player and at £110m I think Man United are getting a very, very good bargain here.”
