Manchester United will sign Jadon Sancho this summer after Marcus Rashford appeared to confirm the deal was done in a now-deleted social media post.
Sancho’s long-running transfer to United will finally go through this summer. The fee expected to be worth at least £77.4million, with additional bonuses. The 21-year-old will not have a medical until after England’s involvement at Euro 2020 finishes.
Sancho is expected to earn around £250,000 a week at Old Trafford, on what will likely be a five-year contract.
The structure of the payments was previously holding up the deal, but now the clubs seem to have found a middle ground. And Dortmund have also seemingly found his successor in the form of an England U21 star.
Indeed, all that’s left is for Sancho to pass his medical and two clubs to confirm the transfer. United fans will likely believe it for real when they see Sancho in a United shirt.
However, any nerves they may have had over the confirmation of the deal appear to have been shredded by Rashford.
Asked by @unitedcloud in response to a thread on Twitter to ‘announce Sancho’, Rashford replied with a simple ‘Yes x’.
The tweet, quite obviously, caused a huge stir among United’s fans. It even drew a response from trusted transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who has been close to developments right the way through.
Realising the gravity in what he had done, the post was soon deleted. So it now just seems a matter of when not if United parade Sancho in his new colours.
