United have been linked with Sancho for the last six transfer windows. However, never has the deal been closer than it is now. As per reports on Tuesday, Sancho is confident a move will go through, having shared his belief with England teammates. As such, it’s stated that Sancho has told friends in the squad he fully expects to start the 2021/22 campaign at Old Trafford.

In an interview with United legend Sir Alex Ferguson, the scot heaped praise on United target Jadon Sancho. And it seems the club’s most successful manager of all time is also fully behind United’s bid to bring Sancho to Old Trafford.

Addressing what he likes about the winger, Ferguson was quick to highlight the star’s best traits.

“I think a lot of Jadon Sancho, with his one-on-one duels, as an assister and scorer, he is extremely dangerous.

“He has so much potential, he helps the team. That’s why he’ll be valuable to England over the course of the tournament,” Ferguson said.

In addition, Sancho is pushing his agent Emeka Obasi to secure a move to United as soon as possible. On that front, it’s claimed an agreement has been reached on a deal worth just over £200,000 a week over five years.

And if previous reports are to be believed, United will likely pay around £81m in total over a four-year period. That will just top the fee United paid for Harry Maguire, making Sancho their second costliest signing of all time.
