Manchester United believe Jadon Sancho has already 'unofficially confirmed' he will join the club

Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho has the potential to be one of the best players of his generation, with the biggest Premier League clubs all clamouring to secure his return to England.

Since leaving Manchester City in 2017 for fear that he wouldn’t be granted the first-team opportunities he needed to continue his development, Sancho has taken European football by storm.

It’s a remarkable record that, together with his routinely electrifying performances, has made him one of the most highly sought-after players in the world.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been vying for his services but it’s the Red Devils who believe they have won the race.

According to the Irish Independent, figures at Old Trafford have suggested that Sancho has already "unofficially confirmed" he will be joining the club.

The England international, who won his first cap against Croatia in October 2018, has reportedly been offered a wage that will rise to £400,000 if he continues to progress.

Yesterday marked a year since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was given the United manager’s job on a permanent basis and six new faces have joined the club during that time.
