Man Utd: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer addresses defensive issues
Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Jadon Sancho as Borussia Dortmund are reportedly willing to accept a lower fee than their original £108million asking price.
Sancho was left out of the squad which travelled to Bayern Munich for the German Super Cup final last night.
A 'respiratory problem' was cited for his absence from the team.

However, it could also be that Sancho is nearing an exit as Dortmund are willing to accept a deal worth £95m, according to the Scottish Sun.
United will be delighted at securing a £13m discount on the original price and will validate Ed Woodward's decision to take the transfer down to the final week of the window.

"It’s appalling that in this market which is probably the easiest in PL history to get transfers done that United haven’t done more yet," the former defender tweeted.
"They must get Ole a CB, LB and forward pre deadline!
"The others are managing to get things over the line why not United!"
United are also hoping to sign another defender after conceding five goals in their opening two Premier League matches.
