Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is pushing for Manchester United to close a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.

Sources say United is in the best position to sign Sancho this summer, but because there are no other serious bidders, the club hierarchy wants to drive down his price. Sancho is valued by Dortmund at £80 million, but Ed Woodward is prepared to offer £50 million.
