Manchester United are confident they are close to an agreement with Borussia Dortmund over Jadon Sancho’s transfer, talkSPORT understands.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has chased the England winger for the past two summers and looks set to finally land his man.

talkSPORT understands that United are on the verge of formalising a deal worth £80million for Sancho.
They expect the deal to be completed swiftly after Euro 2020, where he is on duty with England and preparing for a last 16 showdown with Germany at Wembley on Tuesday night.
The fee, which will also include add-ons related to team performance, is £30m less than Dortmund’s asking price last summer.
Sancho has scored 50 goals in 137 games for Dortmund, who could land Man City some cash if he joins rivals Man United.

Sancho moved to Dortmund from City in August 2017 and the Premier League champions negotiated a 15 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal.
Sancho is understood to have already agreed personal terms with United on a five-year, £350,000-a-week contract.
United were unwilling to meet the £110million asking price set last summer, leading to a breakdown in negotiations.
But they appear to have now got the young forward Solskjaer has long craved for.
