Man Utd not meeting Sancho asking price is 'bizarre' says Cross
Jadon Sancho has been spotted in England as speculation linking him with a last-minute transfer to Manchester United continues. Sancho was one of three England players to break Covid-19 lockdown rules on Saturday night as he partied with Ben Chilwell and Tammy Abraham for the latter’s birthday - according to footage obtained by The Sun.

He was officially ruled out through illness, though he was spotted in London on Saturday, giving United fans a glimmer of hope that the deal can be done.
Sancho is set to join up with the England squad today ahead of international friendlies against Wales and Belgium this week.
However, the fact he came to England early led United fans to believe he would be ready to sign if United stump up the cash.
Sancho has reportedly agreed terms on a five-year contract worth £340,000-per-week, and is simply waiting on the two clubs to reach an agreement.

With the winger in England, he would seemingly be ready to undergo a medical without much notice if United decide to pull the trigger today.
If he joins, he will likely be their third signing of the day and the final face through the door.
Edinson Cavani jetted into Manchester yesterday to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms.
He is expected to be announced this morning on a free transfer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, and will sign a one-year deal with a club option for a second.
Porto left-back Alex Telles is expected to follow Cavani through the door, after United agreed to pay €20m (£18m) to buy him now.
The defender had been expected to sign a pre-contract agreement with the Red Devils in the January window and join next summer.
But Porto apparently decided to slightly lower their asking price in order to avoid letting him go for free next year.
Telles is expected to fly to Manchester today to put pen to paper on his contract.
