It’s safe to say that many Manchester United supporters will have been relieved to see the club officially confirm the signing of Jadon Sancho earlier this week.
The 21-year-old was the subject of extensive interest from Manchester United and after over a year of negotiating with Borussia Dortmund, an agreement was reached at the start of July.
Sancho’s involvement in this summer’s European Championship meant that a deal could not be completed until after the tournament but a transfer was eventually completed.
Nearly two weeks after completing his medical at Carrington, the club confirmed it had signed Sancho on a five-year contract, with an option for an additional year.
