Manchester United's pursuit of Jadon Sancho looks to have taken a major step after reports claim that the Borussia Dortmund winger is open to a move to Old Trafford.  

Mata invited fans to take part in the video on his social media channel but he was inundated with questions about whether United should sign the England international.

Paul Merson is not convinced that Manchester United will be spending over £100million for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.

When all of Europe's elite clubs were circling around Erling Haaland in January, his relationship with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the secret weapon that United could use to sign the hottest prospect in football.

The Borussia Dortmund starlet has been heavily linked with a £120million move to Old Trafford at the end of the season, with speculation having also ramped up during the current football lay-off.

The 20-year-old forward, valued at £100million or more, is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund once the transfer window opens this summer following the coronavirus shutdown.

Borussia Dortmund are known as a club who buy and develop young talent and it appears that Ferran Torres could be the latest name on this conveyor belt.

The highly-rated Borussia Dortmund frontman has been heavily touted to join either of the two European giants at the end of the season, with £65million rumoured to be the fee required to seal the deal.

United are one of a host of top European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, who are desperate to sign the 16-year-old this summer and are negotiating £35m deal.

Borussia Dortmund will reportedly reward Jadon Sancho with a huge pay rise of £4m per season should he decide to stay at the club and turn down a move to the Premier League. 

Manchester United are keen to strengthen their squad with the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. It is reported they believe they have beaten their rivals to the 20-year-old.

The Borussia Dortmund star is United's top transfer target and the club are said to be convinced they have got their man after holding secret talks, according to recent reports.

Manchester United are prepared to listen to bids for Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard this summer in order to raise funds for transfer target Jadon Sancho, according to The Sun.  

UEFA are facing up to the prospect of another huge Champions League headache after the Ligue 1 season was cancelled and all sporting events were banned in France until at least September.

Borussia Dortmund would reportedly allow Jadon Sancho to join Manchester United, provided the Premier League club break their transfer record in order to sign him.

If the club can hold on to the Frenchman and lure Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, Ferdinand said the ability of the front-line would be 'ridiculous'.

The Borussia Dortmund star, 20, has been linked with a move back to the Premier League, with Manchester United reportedly in pole position to land the England forward this summer.

Paul Ince has warned Manchester United target Jadon Sancho to consider whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right manager for him as there is 'no evidence' he can take him to the 'next level'.

Borussia Dortmund placed a £100million price tag on the England international earlier this season with several European clubs desperate to sign him.

The in-demand England winger has been pictured training with his Borussia Dortmund team-mates for the first time since German football was shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The Premier League are watching closely as they try to push ahead with Project Restart, which would see the campaign come back on June 12.
