Jadon Sancho: Man Utd will pay asking price claims pundit
Manchester United are said to be in talks for Jadon Sancho every day, at all hours as they seek to find an agreement. The Red Devils want the deal done as soon as possible, so that Sancho is part of the club's full pre-season schedule.
The United staff and squad are currently in Germany for the completion of the Europa League and are likely to be handed a short break upon return.
Then the hard work will begin for United as they look to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City, while they also have the return of Champions League football to look forward to.
Sancho wants to be a part of that and is eager to get his move back to England.
Personal terms are not thought to be a problem while he has agreed a five-year contract as well.

The only thing that is holding up the deal is Borussia Dortmund, who want to ensure the structure nets them a significant pay-off this summer.
The club initially set a deadline of August 8 but now that has passed and talks are set to continue.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both parties are locked in continuous talks around the clock and there were another round of talks yesterday.
He tweeted: "As always said, talks are still on between Man United and BVB. Every day. 24/24.

"They're trying to resolve everything, to find a solution about add ons and installments. Also today the two clubs have been in contact. Let's see what will happen."
Sancho is United's top transfer target and they are therefore desperate to bring him to Old Trafford.
However, they have made it clear they will not get sucked in to overpaying for him and earlier this week threatened to walk away from the table.
Football consultant Ian McGarry claims Dortmund are using the signing of Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka against United, because they know they will eventually pay up.

"They [Man United] do not believe they will be gazumped by any other club because nobody has expressed the same level of interest," he told the Transfer Window Podcast.
"They are also very confident the player wants to come to Old Trafford.
"He has been in constant touch with England international colleagues who currently play for Manchester United and is in daily contact with them. It's even believed that he's in a WhatsApp group with some of the Manchester United players as well.
"Therefore United are very conformable with their position. They do believe Dortmund will come round to the structure they've suggested.
"But we've seen in the past United have shown in the past that with the transfers of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Bruno Fernandes they have a habit of caving in and compromising beyond the position in which they initially set out."
