United make first formal offer for Sancho

Manchester United are getting serious. The Red Devils have spent a lot of time listening to rumours about their interest in Jadon Sancho, and they don't want the situation to go on for too long.

As German media outlet 'Bild' indicate, those at Old Trafford have decided to initiate contact with Borussia Dortmund and slap an offer of 70 million euros on the table for the player.

This is an amount that falls short of the German club's 90 million euro asking price, therefore it seems unlikely that Dortmund will accept and United will have to come back with an improved offer.

This situation is also of interest to Chelsea, as in the last few weks Sancho has been linked with a move to the blue side of London.
