Jadon Sancho would “accept” a move to Manchester United if the Red Devils agree a fee with Borussia Dortmund, according to the Guardian reporter Fabrizio Romano.
The reliable journalist claims the England international is very open to moving to Old Trafford but the clubs have yet to hold talks over a deal.
Supporters are now getting excited about the possibility of Sancho making the switch to United at the end of the season:

The big stumbling block will likely be Dortmund’s asking price. Numerous reports have claimed that the Bundesliga club will demand in excess of £100m for the 20-year-old.
Such a fee will surely put off rivals like Chelsea and Liverpool, but it remains to be seen how much United are prepared to pay for one of their top transfer targets.
Sancho is certainly a player worth pursuing, considering he has scored 20 goals and contributed 20 assists in 42 appearances this season, but the financial impact of the global health crisis may lead to the Reds thinking twice about such a sizeable outlay.
