| Jadon Sancho |
Jadon Sancho has completed his medical ahead of his move to Manchester United, The Express reports. The Red Devils have been hot on the heels of the Borussia Dortmund star for over a year and their efforts have borne fruit this summer. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been adamant that the Englishman is the answer to his team’s right-wing problems and perhaps the Norwegian’s persistence has played a part in the deal finally seeing light of day.
Manchester United were close to securing Jadon Sancho’s signature last summer, but negotiations with Borussia Dortmund failed to reach a conclusive end. The Red Devils refused to give in to the Bundesliga side’s exorbitant demands and the Englishman ended up staying in Germany. Solskjaer saw the season out without his number one target, although his team’s over-reliance on the left wing did give a constant reminder of Jadon Sancho’s absence.
However, those days are in the past now, with Manchester United already confirming the Englishman’s arrival earlier this month for a £73m deal. After a disappointing end to Euro 2020, Jadon Sancho is now all set to wear the red of Manchester. The player underwent his medicals at Carrington on Tuesday and no anomalies were reported.

Manchester United are expected to unveil the player soon. Jadon Sancho will sign a five-year deal with the Red Devils, with the option of an additional year. He is expected to be drafted straight into the first team, provided he is match fit after a well deserved holiday.

| Edinson Cavani |
Manchester United had struggled to find a player worthy of wearing the No. 7 shirt since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. It was not until the arrival of Edinson Cavani last summer that the curse was finally lifted. The Uruguayan has been outstanding for the Red Devils, but might have to give up the coveted number for Jadon Sancho.

The Englishman wore the No. 7 for Borussia Dortmund but Manchester United are yet to decide on a shirt number for the 21-year-old. Cavani has extended his stay at Old Trafford for another year and could be willing to hand over his shirt with his blessings to Jadon Sancho. On the other hand, the Englishman could opt for a different number in his first season and then move on to his favored No. 7 next summer, with the Uruguayan unlikely to stay beyond a year.
