Manchester United has agreed on a fee in the principle of 85m euros (£73m) with Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.

The 21-year-old England winger, who has yet to have a medical or agree to personal terms, is expected to sign a five-year contract with the option of a sixth year.

The fee, payable over five equal installments, will see Sancho become the second-most expensive English player of all time, behind Harry Maguire.

Defender Maguire joined United from Leicester for £80m in 2019.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified four key positions he wants to improve as they look to build on their progress last season.

After steering his side to second in the Premier League and the Europa League final, the Norwegian is looking to strengthen the right side of his midfield, then the central defensive, midfield, and attacking areas.
