      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.

      Jadon Sancho to take Man Utd’s ‘cursed’ No7 shirt off Cavani after flops like Alexis Sanchez and Memphis Depay wore it

      by

      JADON SANCHO will take the ‘cursed’ No7 shirt at Manchester United. Edinson Cavani currently has the number at Old Trafford and has put an end to the luckless run of owners.

      The Uruguayan, 34, arrived on a free transfer last summer and scored 17 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions.
      That is one more than predecessors Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay AND Alexis Sanchez managed combined wearing the No7.
      The trio all struggled with the Red Devils as some suggested the number was a bad omen – despite the success United legends George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed with it.
      Di Maria had the No7 for his one season in England, 2014-15, and scored four goals in 32 appearances before Depay took over in 2015 for two years, 53 matches and seven goals.
      Sanchez inherited it in January 2018 but fared no better with five strikes across his 45 games.
      Now, though, the Metro say Sancho will take the jersey from Cavani – despite the striker sticking around for another season.
      And United fans will be hoping he is in heaven wearing the No7, just as he has been at Borussia Dortmund.
      It comes as Borussia Dortmund confirmed the deal for Sancho to join Manchester United is done.

      Cristiano Ronaldo ‘made available for just £25m by Juventus’ amid Man Utd and PSG transfer interest

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO is available for just £25million this summer, according to reports.Juventus paid around four times this amount for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s services back in 2018.
      Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the move for just £25mCredit: Reuters
      But according to Gazzetta, the Old Lady are ready to bring their costly Ronaldo experiment to an end… amid rumoured interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
      Juve’s former sporting director Fabio Paratici was a driving figure in bringing CR7 to Turin in 2018.
      But with the Italian having now left and joined Spurs, the Serie A giants are set to pull the plug on their expensive No7’s time at the club.
      Juventus could save as much as £75m in salary by parting with Ronaldo this summer.
      And club chiefs have already met with the star’s agent Jorge Mendes to discuss a potential transfer.
      Even at 36, Ronaldo has remained a prolific goalscorer for club and country.
      He scored 36 goals in 44 games for Juventus last season, even as Andrea Pirlo’s side slumped to fourth.
      And the Portuguese ace also netted five goals in just four games for his country at Euro 2020 – equalling Ali Daei’s international goalscoring record of 109 in the process.

      Overall, Ronaldo has bagged 101 goals in 133 games for Juventus.
      He could now complete an emotional return to Man United – 12 years after leaving Old Trafford for Real Madrid.
      PSG are also believed to be keen – especially if Kylian Mbappe forces an exit this summer.

      Rio Ferdinand urges Jadon Sancho not to be ‘sidetracked’ at Man Utd and ‘be yourself and entertain’ after £73m transfer

      by

      RIO FERDINAND has called for Jadon Sancho ‘to entertain’ at Manchester United.The winger, 21, will complete his transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford after a third bid of £73million plus add-ons was accepted.

      Rio Ferdinan has offered some words of wisdom to the wingerCredit: Getty
      He has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal and will have his medical once he has finished duty with England at Euro 2020.
      Sancho has only made one substitute appearance at the tournament so far this summer.
      But he showed his capabilities last term in the Bundesliga as he scored 16 goals and produced 20 assists.
      United legend Ferdinand is now expecting the ace to carry on that blistering form at the Theatre of Dreams.
      And the ex-England centre-back urged Sancho not to let anything distract him from his goal and to ‘entertain’ at United.
      Ferdinand told his FIVE YouTube channel: “I don’t need to tell him this because he loves his football, but work hard and make sure everything you do is about being a success at Manchester United and being the best you can be.
      “Don’t let anything sidetrack you. Be yourself, entertain and the end product is what you’re about. Bring that to the table.
      “The energy and the focus should be solely on football. Just immerse yourself in everything about the club, man.”

      Ferdinand continued: “Sancho’s arrived, Sancho’s here! I feel beautiful man.
      “This boy, just look at his stats, they don’t lie. In terms of goal involvements he was the second most over three seasons – that’s a fact.
      “He’s got to convert that to the Premier League which is difficult, we’ve seen that, but listen, I believe in Jadon Sancho man.
      “Since he was a kid, he’s had hot press, hot expectations, he had the bravery to leave Man City and go abroad. Personality, character.”
      Ferdinand added: “On the right-hand side and the left-hand side, we haven’t got a winger who goes on the outside and can cross the ball. That’s what you need.
      “He can play on the right or the left, he plays with both feet. On that right-wing, as well as Mason [Greenwood] has done and I’m a massive fan of his, this is Manchester United, who are always associated with wingers.
      “At any of our most successful times, there’s been wide players who can cross the ball. For a full-back, it’s terrible news!”

      Willian Jose reveals transfer offer from Man Utd and slams Real Sociedad for blocking move before Wolves loan spell

      WILLIAN JOSE has revealed that he had an offer from Manchester United in January 2020.And the Brazilian, 29, has slammed Real Sociedad for not letting him make the £19.7million switch.

      Jose, who is still contracted to Sociedad for another three years, spent the second half of the season on loan at Wolves.
      But while chatting to Spanish paper Noticias de Gipuzkoa, he has put the boot into his employers.
      He said: “I think they have not treated me well.
      “I expected a little more. When I renewed my contract, I had spoken with Roberto Olabe about there being some interested teams, from the Premier League and also from LaLiga.
      “I spoke with Roberto, and he told me that if a big team which played in the Champions League came in for me, they would let me go. I stayed calm.
      “Then came Barcelona and an offer from Manchester United. I saw that it was an opportunity that I could not miss out on because life is like that.
      “You have to take advantage of opportunities, and I saw that it was the opportunity.
      “In the end, things did not go well, and this year they let me go to Wolves.

      “I don’t understand why a few months ago they didn’t want to let me go for €23 million and now they have let me go. Football is sometimes difficult to understand.”
      The Red Devils had been scrambling around for a solution upfront, having missed Romelu Lukaku following his departure to Inter Milan.
      They ended up settling on a shock Deadline Day loan move for Odion Ighalo, before signing Edinson Cavani in the summer.
      Barcelona, meanwhile, controversially signed Martin Braithwaite from Celta Vigo.
      Jose scored three goals in 13 outings during the first half of last season, before making his January loan switch to Wolves.
      He managed just one goal in 17 Premier League appearances, however, failing to replace the injured Raul Jimenez’s impact at Molineux.

      Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has sensationally revealed the deal is FINALLY done, with United agreeing to meet the Bundesliga giants’ £73million valuation.
      Sancho, 21, is set to sign a five-year deal worth a rumoured £350,000 a week – more than three times his current £100,000 per week contract in Dortmund.
      The England winger now only needs to pass his medical and he will then be officially a Man Utd player.

      EURO 2020 FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN NEW CUSTOMER DEALS

      Earlier this week, reports in Germany revealed Dortmund had accepted United’s THIRD bid of the summer.
      The former Manchester City academy ace has reportedly already told Three Lions team-mates he is making the switch to join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
      United’s path to Sancho was made easier after Dortmund were given the green light to sign Holland whiz Donyell Malen as his replacement.
      For now, Sancho is still currently on Euro 2020 duty with England and will hope to play a part in the quarter-final clash against Ukraine on Saturday night.
      The winger is enduring a tough time at the tournament, playing just six minutes as a late substitute against the Czech Republic.
      Sancho, though, on the bench for the last-16 win over Germany, recently insisted he is fully focused on the Three Lions.
      The England ace will become Man Utd’s third-most-expensive signing in club history behind Paul Pogba (£89m) and Harry Maguire (£80m).

      Harry Maguire paid tribute to Jordan Pickford for dealing with being the most scrutinised keeper in world football to be a shining star for England.
      But the 27-year-old Everton No 1 produced two top-class saves against Germany to provide the platform for their last-16 win.
      Man of the match Maguire said: “We have a magnificent keeper behind us, who every time he has put on the shirt for England has been magnificent.
      “Probably the goalkeeping No 1 spot for England is the most scrutinised position in world football.”
      Maguire added: “We have excellent players but it’s not just us defenders or the keeper, it’s a unit, a base, it comes from Gareth and the way he sets us up.
      “Of course, the forward lads in terms of the way they press.”
      RAM RAID
      Chelsea have reportedly made an offer to Real Madrid defender and former Man Utd target Sergio Ramos.

      It was a nightmare evening for Rabiot and his French teammates, losing on penalties in a shock result.
      His mum Veronique, who is also his agent, has come under fire for arguing with the families of Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe in the stands after the final whistle.
      Although the Juventus star has featured 62 times in Serie A since his move from Paris Saint-Germain in July 2019, reports claim the club are willing to let him leave for just £17million.
      United, along with Chelsea and Barcelona, are believed to be interested in signing the player.

      GO GET GORETZKA

      All that is left for the two sides to agree is any potential add-ons and instalments of the fee but that is not thought to be an issue.
      As revealed by SunSport, Sancho is closing in on a five-year deal worth £350,000 per week at Old Trafford.

      SAUL FOOD
      Man Utd have been given a huge boost with Saul Niguez reportedly keen on an Atletico Madrid departure.

      And Atleti are open to selling Saul this summer after he was left out of Spain’s Euro squad.
      Indeed, AS believes Saul’s £40million price tag would not be too much of a hurdle for the Red Devils, who are already set to sign Jadon Sancho.

      GOR BLIMEY
      Sven-Goran Eriksson claims he rejected approaches from Man Utd and Chelsea while managing England.
      The Swede told Ladbrokes: “During my time as England manager, I had contact with Manchester United and then Chelsea.
      “But it’s almost impossible to leave your contract early as the England national manager to then go on and take over an English club. If you leave England, people will not look very good at you.
      “There were discussions with those two clubs, but they never led to anything, and I’m proud to have stuck to my decision to stay in charge of the national team.”

      THAT’S YOUR LOTT
      Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool are among those keen on Italy international Andrea Belotti.
      The Torino forward has impressed as a sub at the Euros.

      But Manchester United have slipped behind Paris Saint-Germain in the race for his signature.

      According to the Daily Star, a United scout was at the game in Bucharest to watch Rabiot in action.
      It was a nightmare evening for Rabiot and his French teammates, losing on penalties in a shock result.
      His mum Veronique, who is also his agent, has come under fire for arguing with the families of Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe in the stands after the final whistle.
      Although the Juventus star has featured 62 times in Serie A since his move from Paris Saint-Germain in July 2019, reports claim the club are willing to let him leave for just £17million.
      United, along with Chelsea and Barcelona, are believed to be interested in signing the player.
      Rumours suggest the Red Devils are considering offering flop Donny van de Beek to the Italian giants as part of a swap deal for Rabiot.
      And there has been speculation about a swap deal involving the France international and United defender Alex Telles.

      He went on to become a promising talent at PSG, making 150 Ligue 1 appearances and winning five league titles before joining Juve.
      Rabiot has won Serie A, the Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup during his spell in Turin, earning a place in Didier Deschamps’ Euro 2020 squad.
