Jadon Sancho has effectively completed his £72.9milliom transfer to Manchester United, with an announcement to confirm the transfer scheduled for this week.
Sancho, 21, arrived at United’s Carrington training complex on Tuesday for a medical and posed for promo shots that have become obligatory for any new signing.
England international Sancho is due to be off for three weeks following the end of the European Championship and could make his United bow at Old Trafford in their final pre-season friendly against Everton on August 7.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff will then have a full week of training with Sancho to prepare him for a possible official debut against Leeds on August 14.
With Sancho all but finalised, United will continue work on a deal to sign Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. The Manchester Evening News revealed on Monday United are close to agreeing personal terms with Varane.
United have already recruited back-up goalkeeper Tom Heaton on a free but want to make a third significant signing after the planned acquisition of Varane.
United are interested in Atletico Madrid full-back Kieran Trippier and are open to signing a midfielder before the transfer window closes on August 31.
Borussia Dortmund will be paid the Sancho fee in five instalments and have sold him for £35.1m less than the £108m they demanded for the winger last year.
The MEN first revealed United's interest in Sancho when they attempted to sign him from City in 2017, but their rivals blocked a move to another English club.
