Man Utd: Solskjaer urges team to use Europa pain to rebuild
Manchester United were £11million short of what Borussia Dortmund wanted for Jadon Sancho in their opening offer this past week, but talks are ongoing and a deal could be agreed in the next seven days, according to reports. Sancho was United's No 1 transfer target 12 months ago but they refused to meet Dortmund's £108million asking price.
However, it is said that Dortmund feel confident that an agreement could be in place by 'next week'.
There was initially some hope from both parties that a deal would be agreed before the start of Euro 2020.
Dortmund and United may well be able to agree a fee in the next seven days, but an announcement may not come until after the tournament now.
Gareth Southgate indicated at the end of last month that he didn't want any transfer distractions in his squad while competing at Euro 2020.

"I am talking across the board here. I think it is very unlikely that transfer deals will be done when we are away," he said.
"I think that is different from camps in September, very often we are on that deadline moment and every now and then we have had to help facilitate a medical or a meeting between a player and a manager.
"I am very realistic about those things. We are not going to stop phones ringing, we can't control the conversations that are going on in private.
"But I wouldn't expect, I think most deals are done at the end of tournaments or they are done in the first week after the end of the season. I would expect anything across the board with our players to be after the tournament."
