“It was February 2020 when Manchester United first had the direct contact, an official contract, with Dortmund for Sancho. It was the contact after which United were preparing to make an official bid for him.”
“Manchester United were really confident to complete Sancho deal last summer, they had the green light from the player. Everything was prepared for negotiating the transfer but then COVID-19 changed the situation completely.”

“Manchester United were so close to acquiring Jadon Sancho that an agency negotiating with other clubs over a winger was informed by United, ‘we don’t need wingers, we are getting Jadon Sancho’ – it was that close.”
“Manchester United then tried to negotiate around €80m for Sancho while Dortmund were asking for €120m. But at the end of July 2020, Jadon Sancho was ‘one step’ away from being a United player — it was very close.”
“Negotiations went on, but Dortmund then didn’t accept the last bid from Manchester United for Sancho — they always wanted €120m. United were confident last summer the transfer will happen but ultimately gave up.”
“Manchester United tried to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona After Sancho deal collapsed last summer. again here also there was no agreement on a simple loan so the deal collapsed.”
“After the deal collapsed last summer, Manchester United always stayed in touch with Sancho, his agents, always showing him — ‘we want you, you will be the target again next summer, Jadon Sancho is a future United player’.”
“Sancho was really appreciative of this because Chelsea was intrigued, but he wasn’t a priority. Liverpool was really interested in selling either Mane or Salah, but United continued pressing and pushing.”
“At the end of April this year, Sancho had a secret meeting with Dortmund where he told — ‘I want to go to Manchester United, I have an agreement to leave if right bid arrives, but please this time I want to go there now’.”

“It was really impressive to see Jadon Sancho pushing and pushing to go to Manchester United. He had an agreement on personal terms verbally with United since February 2020, they completed agreement during the summer last year.”
“Manchester United were completely focused on completing everything for the Sancho deal this summer. They were even working during the Euros to avoid any surprise or hijack from other clubs and then completed everything.”
