Today’s fluff is hoping to cut loose
Having been given the keys to the Old Trafford transfer kitty by Ed Woodward, Ole Gunnar Solskjær appears to be desperate to empty it this summer. Depending on where you consume your transfer guff, the
Manchester United manager is planning to pump £160m into the Midlands
economy with a double swoop for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish and Leicester’s James Maddison. That’s an overload of English attacking midfield pizzazz, right?
Wrong. Because other sources suggest Jadon Sancho is also on the United shortlist, with a bid of £120m expected to prise the tricky 19-year-old former
Manchester City player away from Dortmund. He’ll have competition from
Chelsea for Sancho, with Frank Lampard determined to finally sign a real-life actual player after watching recent windows pass him by. Oh, and Lyon’s Moussa Dembélé is another player linked with a big-money move to United, too. The Ligue 1 club would want around £80m for the whizzy forward who has rammed home 15 goals in 32 games.
