Further details have emerged about Jadon Sancho's proposed move to Manchester United, including the player's shirt number, wage and contract length.

It was reported this week that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are in 'advanced negotiations' with Borussia Dortmund over a £90m (€100m) deal - a record fee for an English player.

The 20-year-old is said to be 'excited by the prospect' of playing at Old Trafford next season. In fact, he is believed to be 'close' to agreeing personal terms, report The Mirror.

They claim Sancho will wear the number 7 shirt following the expected departure of Alexis Sanchez, who is said to be on the brink of completing a permanent deal to Inter Milan, which would potentially save United £58 million in wages.

Sancho will also sign a four-year deal at Old Trafford worth between £200-220k-per-week, with an option to to extend for a further season.

That's TREBLE the amount he earns at Dortmund.


In terms of his transfer fee, it appears Dortmund will agree to a deal where United could pay the fee for Sancho's transfer 'over the next two or three seasons', according to The Guardian.

The deal for the England international would reportedly include an additional €20m in performance-related add-ons.

A move for Sancho may only be the start of a busy transfer window for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who may sign three players after sealing a deal for the England international.

That's according to The Express, who believe Solskjaer is in the market for an attacking midfielder, a defender and a striker.

In terms of attacking midfield options, Jack Grealish is the obvious candidate after being linked for months, but Ajax's Donny van de Beek is also mentioned.

United are also keen on adding another defender to the ranks. Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings gets a mention as well as Swansea centre-back Joe Rodon and AC Milan's Alessio Romagnoli.

In addition to an attacking midfielder and a defender, Solskjaer also reportedly wants a striker to compete with the likes of Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.

Lyon striker Moussa Dembele continues to be linked with a transfer to Old Trafford, and Erling Haaland once again gets a mention.
