Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford chat during England training
Manchester United have finally agreed a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho, according to reports. United are set to pay an initial £72.6million for the 21-year-old. Sancho was United's top target in the summer of 2020 but the Red Devils baulked at Dortmund's £108m asking price. However, the Old Trafford club have gone back in for the England winger and have seemingly sealed a deal.

The two clubs have again haggled over a fee, with Sancho reportedly having agreed terms on a contract some weeks ago.
However, it appears a deal is now finally set to go through.
Christian Falk, of German outlet Sport Bild, claims the deal is now completed.
Falk says Sancho will sign his United contract in the next few days.
Falk tweeted on Wednesday afternoon: "TRUE @Sanchooo10 to @ManUtd is a done Deal! Agreement between @BVB and United. Signature of the contracts in the coming days."

The Athletic say Sancho has already signed a five-year contract to join United. The report also claimed Sancho will wear the No 7 jersey but that information has since been deleted.
Sancho is currently with the England squad at Euro 2020 but has rarely been used by manager Gareth Southgate.
Sancho has made just one substitute appearance so far in the tournament, coming off the bench in the second half of the win over Czech Republic.
Former Germany boss Jurgen Klinsmann is at a loss as to why Sancho has not appeared more for the Three Lions after impressing in the Bundesliga.
“Everyone in Germany is surprised Jadon Sancho has not had more game-time for England at Euro 2020 - but they don't want to see that change on Tuesday,” he wrote for BBC Sport.

“Sancho is huge in Germany because of what he has done with Borussia Dortmund, and is seen as a big star in the Bundesliga - he is only 21 but he has been spectacular for the past few seasons.
“Another young England player at Dortmund, Jude Bellingham, is rated very highly too, but he is a different kind of player.
“What makes [Sancho] such a special talent is his technical capability at a very fast pace, and he is fearless - he just goes at people. I love watching him because, when he gets the ball, he excites the fans.
“Of course people who watch him for Dortmund expected him to get more of a chance at this tournament - he has had only six minutes of action so far, as a substitute against the Czech Republic - but the same discussion you are having about fitting England's young talent in your team, we are having about Germany's emerging players too."
