And ESPN now claim the Red Devils have made some progress negotiating agent fees.
However, United remain locked in talks with Dortmund over a transfer fee after having an initial bid of £70million – rising to £110m in bonuses – rejected.
The Bundesliga side claimed in August that Sancho was staying put.
But the England international has remained tight-lipped on the saga.
And United have not given up their pursuit as they believe Sancho still wants to join them.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the ex-Manchester City youngster can provide his frontline with an extra spark.
A move would see Sancho compete with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood for a starting spot.
United have already landed Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek in a £39m swoop.

And they remain keen on signing a new centre-back, with RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano in Solskjaer’s sights.
The Norwegian would also like a left-back, with Real Madrid’s Sergio Reguilon eyed after an impressive loan at Sevilla.
United had been looking at Porto’s Alex Telles too, but it’s believed Wolves are closing in on a deal for the Brazilian.
