Man United and Dortmund have been haggling over Sancho for over a year.

But a deal has finally been agreed, pending the England winger’s medical tests.

In a club statement, the Red Devils wrote: “Manchester United is delighted to announce it has reached agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of Jadon Sancho.

“The signing is subject to contractual terms and a medical, which will be completed after Jadon’s involvement in the UEFA European Championship.”

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said: “There’s an agreement with Manchester United for Sancho.

“It was Jadon’s express wish to change, we would have liked to keep him.

“We are not happy about the money but sad that he’s leaving.”

Sancho, 21, has agreed a five-year, £350,000-a-week deal at Old Trafford.

And he would like to take the ‘cursed’ No7 shirt from Edinson Cavani.

The likes of Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay and Alexis Sanchez have flopped in the shirt in recent years.

But Sancho would like to take on the legendary number worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Eric Cantona down the years.

Sancho is currently at Euro 2020 with England, although has struggled for game time under Gareth Southgate.

The new Man United star has been handed just six minutes of game time in four matches, but will be hoping to feature against Ukraine in Rome on Saturday.

Sancho could be joined at Old Trafford by another high-profile recruit in Raphael Varane.

According to ESPN, the Real Madrid and France star is ‘close to finalising a move’ to Old Trafford.
