Manchester United announced the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund on Friday.
Manchester United have signed England winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, the Premier League club announced Friday. No fee for the five-year contract was disclosed but British media reports said Sancho had moved from Germany in a deal worth 73 million pounds ($100 million) -- which would make him the second-most expensive English player of all time behind new United team-mate Harry Maguire. "I'll always be grateful to Dortmund for giving me the opportunity to play first team football, although I always knew that I would return to England one day," Sancho told manutd.com. "The chance to join Manchester United is a dream come true and I just cannot wait to perform in the Premier League," the 21-year-old added. "This is a young and exciting squad and I know, together, we can develop into something special to bring the success that the fans deserve." His move to Old Trafford follows a year-long pursuit by United, who were reportedly put off at first by Dortmund's 100m pound valuation of Sancho, a former Manchester City youth team player. The deal was also announced just weeks after Sancho, together with new United team-mate Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, received racist abuse following their penalty shoot-out misses in England's Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy at Wembley.More Related News
