‘They Will Refuse’ ‘So Senseless. What Are We Doing?’ Fans Sceptical About Reports That United Are Planning 90M Bid
Manchester United will make one final non-negotiable offer for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, according to reports in the English media.
Chief Executive Ed Woodward will table a bid worth £75m upfront, with £15m in add-ons, taking the total amount to £90m. It is still £20m short of Dortmund’s €120m (£110m) valuation and fans on Twitter don’t think it will be enough to prise the England international away from the German club:

It is thought that United see the offer as a fair amount, in light of the ongoing global health crisis which is hitting football financially, but Dortmund are unlikely to be impressed with the “take it or leave it” offer, considering their current stance on the player’s future.
Throughout the summer, they have stuck firmly to their asking price and, unless Sancho starts agitating for a move, there is nothing to suggest that they will be swayed by United’s latest proposal.
