Former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann believes Sancho will move to United this summer.
“I see him going to the Premier League. The most likely option there is Manchester United.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to sign the player this summer. Sancho too is receptive to a move back to the Premier League with United.
Ed Woodward is determined to sign the youngster with United leading the chase. His addition would be a massive boost for the club as we look to take back our perch.

Having the fast, pacy and prolific Sancho down the flanks would give us another dimension in attack.
With Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings in midfield and Marcus Rashford wreaking havoc up top, the United attack will present a daunting prospect.
Whether the deal takes place or not remains to be seen.
