Jadon Sancho expected to have Man Utd medical this week and complete £73m transfer before summer holiday
MANCHESTER UNITED hope to help Jadon Sancho over his Euro heartache by finalising a switch this week.
The England ace, 21, is expected to have his medical with the Red Devils before he heads off on his holidays.
A fee of around £73million was agreed between United and Borussia Dortmund in June bringing a long pursuit to an end.
And the Premier League giants are keen to put the finishing touches to the move as soon as possible now that his international commitments are over.
The Euro 2020 final ended in disappointment for former Manchester City trainee Sancho as he came off the bench in time for the penalty shootout.
He saw his spot-kick saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma as England fluffed their final three efforts to hand Italy the crown at Wembley.
Sancho and his fellow Three Lions stars at United are only likely to get around three weeks off before reporting back for pre-season in early August.
So all parties want it finalised before he heads off for some sunshine and a much-needed break.
Meanwhile United are still in talks with the representatives of Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane about a move to England.
However, United have yet to speak to the Spanish outfit to agree a fee for the 28-year-old French international.

That could yet prove another obstacle with reports suggesting they will want north of £50m for the centre-back.
Another French ace on United chief Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s radar is Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, 18, who is valued in the £25m bracket by his club. He is into the final year of his contract.
Solskjaer has added Eric Ramsay to United’s first-team coaching set-up.
The former Chelsea coach will work one-on-one with individual players and also work on the side’s set-plays.
