Man Utd: Pundits discuss ‘major development’ in Sancho transfer
Manchester United players are excited about the prospect of Jadon Sancho moving to Old Trafford, reports say. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign the Borussia Dortmund star, three years after the club first missed out. But Ed Woodward has found negotiations difficult so far.

They feel a marquee signing can help improve the club as they seek a first Premier League title since 2013, back when Sir Alex Ferguson ruled the roost.
But United and Woodward must first find a breakthrough in negotiations for Sancho, with Dortmund sticking to their message that he won’t be leaving.
Meanwhile, former Red Devils star Owen Hargreaves feel the club should hasten any potential Sancho deal.
And he feels the Dortmund star can have the same big impact at Old Trafford as Bruno Fernandes, who joined from Sporting Lisbon in January.
He told talkSPORT: “I hope he comes over here. He would be perfect for United.
“I don’t think they (Dortmund) have much of an argument because they’ve pretty much sold everyone, whether it’s been (Robert) Lewandowski, (Mats) Hummels, (Mario) Gotze or (Ousmane) Dembele. Everyone has pretty much left there.
“We know they are a selling club and it’s obviously about money.
“In Jadon, as much as we are in a difficult space right now with everything going in the world, it will be money well spent.
“You just have to get the deal done.
“You saw what Bruno did to United. Jadon would do the same.”
