Manchester United to launch bid for Jadon Sancho next week

Jadon Sancho would fit right in at Manchester United

Ed Woodward is reportedly all set to get busy in the transfer market. After recognizing the need for squad depth, the United board have decided that they want Jadon Sancho at Old Trafford at the earliest.

Sancho is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's top target this summer. Manchester United are yet to be defeated in the Premier League post restart and that's owing to the availability of all their best players. Should the Red Devils get one of their starters injured, they would find it hard to replicate the kind of form they are exhibiting.

Hence, it is important that they recruit at least a couple of top quality players to ramp up the competition inside the squad and help share the load.
