For the past 2 months, Man United has been chasing Sancho, from the preparation to get the English midfielder's signature for hundreds of millions of pounds to the prospect of being absent. The reason comes from the fact that both sides cannot finalize the treatment policy for Sancho as well as the salary this midfielder requires.
Dortmund still maintains the view of only releasing Sancho when receiving 100 million pounds or more. M.U still has money, but to trade off the Sancho deal, breakthrough calculations are needed.
The breakthrough here is not a matter of money, it is the strategy and expectations of the "Red Devils" in the coming time. They have Donny van de Beek but are not good enough to become a contender for titles next season. There needs to be other stars for Sancho to confidently join the "Red Devils". The English midfielder finds it difficult to trade his struggling position in Germany for trying to get a ticket to the Champions League in England.
After Van de Beek, M.U is still paying attention to Upamecano (RB Leipzig) and Sergio Reguilon (Real Madrid). The "Red Devils" need to reform their defense to avoid falling into the trap of the last season. The summer transfer market is about to close, M.U needs to quickly solve the goals, thereby creating peace of mind for Sancho.
To get Upamecano and Reguilo, Man United are expected to lose about 70 million pounds. They lost 40 million to Van de Beek, wanting to have Sancho about 100 million, they lost an additional 70 million to the 2 defenders above. Although knowing that money in the COVID-19 period is very difficult, to achieve what they want, the "Red Devils" need to be more bold.
