Manchester United will “press ahead” with their plans to sign Jack Grealish, Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho this summer, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The Red Devils are determined to land the trio when the next transfer window opens, and they are not said to be phased by the financial impact of the global health crisis.
Fans on Twitter are happy that United are looking to improve the squad:

The financial muscle ?

That would be an incredible window if they pulled that off what with the Covid pandemic.

That would rock!
Rashford, Martial, Sancho = best front 3 in Europe
Pogba + Bruno in central MF will be all dominant. Both deep lying playmakers, both orchestrators (so you cant mark one out of game) and both excellent ball winners (no need for a CDM!) . Grealish best #10

Sancho 100m, Grealish 40-60m, Bellingham 30-40m.. hopefully united can do it as these players would add some proper quality to the squad, but will be difficult due to the affects of the pandemic.

United reportedly see Grealish, Bellingham and Sancho as all being realistic targets this calendar year but it remains to be seen if that is, in fact, the case.
Bellingham is likely to be the easiest to land with Birmingham City in desperate need of the money, while an agreement is probably likely with Villa for Grealish, especially if the Midlands club are relegated.
However, the biggest challenge will be Sancho. Although United are in pole position for the 20-year-old, there is likely to be competition from the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool, with Borussia Dortmund also expected to hold out for a sizeable fee.
