Manchester United are reportedly ready to step up their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.
That’s according to reputable German outlet BILD, who claim Ole Gunnar Solksjaer wants a deal for the England international boxed off before the start of the Euros next month.
The report goes on to state United want Sancho signed for a fee of around €90 million, which is said to be an agreeable amount for Dortmund.
Manchester United’s apparent pursuit of the 21-year-old has been well documented, with the Red Devils claimed to have an advantage over bitter rivals Liverpool.
