UNITED LIVE 4pm Man Utd news LIVE: Sancho ‘agrees five-year deal and may request transfer’, Rodriguez and Bailey options
Manchester United transfer target Jadon Sancho will agitate for a move away from Borussia Dortmund if the German club refuse to allow him to join the Red Devils, according to transfer expert Ian McGarry. McGarry claims Sancho has agreed a five-year deal in principle to move to Old Trafford.
The England international is high on United's list of targets heading into the next window.
Reports earlier this week claimed United are only prepared to pay up to £50million for Sancho, less than half the fee Dortmund initially wanted for the player.
But McGarry believes it will now be easier for United to agree a deal with the German club after Sancho signalled his desire to return to England.
And he reckons Dortmund may need the cash to fund signings of their own.
McGarry said on the Transfer Window podcast: "In these scenarios, once you've agreed with the player and the player obviously has indicated his desire to leave and join you, then it usually helps in terms of the player's insistence at his current club with regards to: 'I want to leave, I know what I'm going for, I know what I'm doing, so if you don't allow me to leave then I will agitate'.
"And this is a player who has had three separate incidents in this season so far of fines for misbehaviour in terms of the club code of conduct and we know that Dortmund at different times have said that he's been a bit problematic in this season because of the unsettled nature of his season, because of the interest mainly from Manchester United.
"And it may well be that Borussia Dortmund, who have spent on Erling Haaland, may well spend elsewhere this summer as well, need the money just to break even in terms of FFP but also just for their finances."
Meanwhile, former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas believes United do not need to sign a striker as they already have the player to lead the line in Mason Greenwood.
