Bruno Fernandes pokes fun as Jadon Sancho Manchester United transfer finally confirmed

Bruno Fernandes has cheekily shared his relief after Manchester United finally unveiled Jadon Sancho as their second signing of the summer transfer window.

Sancho, 21, has penned a five-year deal at Old Trafford with the option of an additional year after completing a £72.9million move from Borussia Dortmund.

United agreed a fee with Dortmund for the England international three weeks ago but were forced to wait before officially unveiling Sancho as a signing.

After an agonising wait Sancho was announced as a United player on Friday afternoon and it wasn't long before new teammate Fernandes poked fun at the transfer saga.

Replying to the official announcement on Instagram the Portuguese midfielder simply responded: '#SanchoAnnouncementDoneFinally' followed by a laughing emoji.

While it might have been a tedious transfer by the time it was officially announced, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can't wait to unleash his new right winger next season.

“Jadon epitomises the type of player I want to bring to the club, he is a forward player in the best traditions of Manchester United," The Norwegian told official club media." He will form an integral part of my squad for years to come and we look forward to seeing him blossom.

"His goals and assist records speak for themselves and he will also bring tremendous pace, flair and creativity to the team.

"Old Trafford will give him the platform he needs to release his untapped talent and perform at the highest level. For any player of his age, Jadon has already achieved a great deal and showed the courage to go and prove himself abroad. We all look forward to welcoming Jadon to the squad as we prepare for the new campaign."
