Jadon Sancho ‘desperate’ to link up with three Man Utd players as club table final £90m bid as saga comes toward end
JADON SANCHO is reportedly desperate to link up with England pals Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire and Mason Greenwood at Manchester United.
The Borussia Dortmund winger has been linked with a move to Old Trafford all summer.
SunSport previously reported that the Red Devils are now set to make a final £90million move for Sancho.
It is believed the Premier League club will offer £75m up front, with another £15m to be paid in add ons later on.
According to the Daily Star, United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward hope Sancho’s desperation to join will convince Dortmund to sell up.

The report adds that the 20-year-old is keen to link up with Rashford, Greenwood and Maguire, who he knows well from England duty.
United star Rashford admitted earlier this year that he is desperate himself to play alongside the ex-Manchester City starlet at club level.
Yet the club’s confidence comes in spite of Dortmund’s head of football Sebastian Kehl saying this week that Sancho would STAY in Germany.
An initial deadline of August 10 set by the Bundesliga club passed without incident.
And Kehl told Ruhr Nachrichten: “He [Jadon Sancho] is our player, and he will stay.

“It was an important statement from the club because we have a certain responsibility. Without Jadon this team is weaker.”
Sancho played 78 minutes of Dortmund’s 3-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach in their Bundesliga opener.
He scored on his first appearance of the season in the German Cup in a 5-0 thrashing of Duisberg.
But United may have to flog as many as SIX players to fund the move for Sancho, as well as the rumoured interest in Porto left-back Alex Telles.
