Jadon Sancho camp 'confident of Manchester United move'

The representatives of Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho are reportedly growing increasingly confident that a move to Manchester United will soon come to fruition.

The Red Devils are believed to be readying an improved offer for the English attacker after seeing an opening bid of £67m swiftly knocked back by Dortmund last week.

United supposedly held further talks with the Black and Yellow over a deal for Sancho during the weekend, and the former Manchester City starlet is already understood to have agreed a whopping £350k-a-week contract should a transfer go through.

Now, the Manchester Evening News reports that Sancho's camp are confident that a deal will eventually be completed, even though United are yet to meet Dortmund's valuation.

The Bundesliga outfit are thought to be holding out for a sum of £77m plus £4m in performance-related bonuses, and United's idea to insert a Ballon d'Or clause in Sancho's deal was rejected.

The 21-year-old scored 16 goals and set up 20 more across all competitions for Dortmund last term, but he was left out by Gareth Southgate as England triumphed 1-0 over Croatia during their Euro 2020 opener on Sunday.
