It was reported that the Red Devils were unwilling to pay more than £50m for Sancho, in light of the negative financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, as per a report from The Sun, the club has had a breakthrough in negotiations. And an agreement is likely to be reached before the transfer window opens on July 27.
This ought to come as a huge boost for the club. It is true that the goals have been flowing aplenty in recent matches. The attacking trident of Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford has been firing on all cylinders.
However, the potential addition of someone like Sancho would take our attack to the next level. The 20-year-old is in the form of his life and is coming on the back of a sensational campaign, having scored and assisted 20 goals apiece in 2019/20.
