Manchester United may be glad to see that it looks like things are moving along nicely for Borussia Dortmund to seal the transfer of David Neres, who could be a replacement for Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils have long been linked with a move for Sancho, and it seems Dortmund are now in the hunt for an in-form young winger who could be a perfect like-for-like replacement in that position.

UOL Esporte claim Neres even has a verbal agreement for Ajax to let him go this summer, so this deal could very much be on ahead of next season.
United will surely feel this gives them a better chance of landing Sancho, following a report from the Sun that they’d opened talks over a deal for the England international.
Dortmund will obviously be keen not to lose the 19-year-old, who looks to have a very bright future in the game, but have shown in the past that they will sell top young talent for big money if offers come along.
