Jadon Sancho is Manchester United’s number one target this summer, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eager to add the Borussia Dortmund star to his side before the 2020/21 campaign gets underway.
United confirmed their place in next season’s Champions League with a final-day victory over Leicester City, a result which saw them finish third in the Premier League.
And now the Reds want to strengthen their squad and Sancho is their priority signing.
The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the best young players in Europe. He struck 16 goals and claimed 17 assists in 32 Bundesliga matches this season to help Dortmund finish second in the Bundesliga.
He will not come cheap, however, and United will likely have to pay a club-record fee to land the England international.
Here is the latest on Sancho to United , from the MEN and elsewhere:
MEN: Dortmund chief hopes Sancho stays
Borussia Dortmund director of football Michael Zorc has reiterated his desire to see Sancho stay at the Bundesliga club despite United's interest.
Sancho is top of United's summer shopping list but the German side have so far held firm in their €120m valuation of the winger.
And Zorc believes it’s possible Sancho could stay beyond this summer.
“I would be happy if he would still play with us this season,” Zorc said at a press conference on Thursday. “And that's the current state of affairs. First of all, we have to stick to the facts - and they are such that we still have a contract with him until 2022.”
However, MEN Sport understands United are relaxed over what they see as transfer-market tactics from Dortmund, with the German club attempting to force United into a rushed bid.

MEN opinion: Grealish and Sancho signings equally important
Jadon Sancho is Manchester United’s number one target for the summer transfer window, but the Reds also hold an interest in Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.
The 24-year-old, captain of his boyhood club, was Villa's standout performer in 2019/20, chipping in with ten goals in all competitions for the Midlands-based side.
Grealish's displays helped Villa remain in the Premier League and, as a result, the club do not have to sell their star man.
An £80 million price tag has reporedly been placed on Grealish by Villa, so United would face a significant outlay if they do decide to firm up their interest.
But, as Adam Newson writes, the addition of Grealish to Solskjaer’s squad could prove just as important as that of Sancho, with his versatility invaluable.
Grealish is capable of playing in a number of positions across the midfield and attack, and signing him this summer would ease the creative burden on Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.
ESPN: Solskjaer wants Sancho deal done quickly
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Manchester United to step up their pursuit of Sancho and secure a deal for the England international as quickly as possible.
ESPN report the United boss is eager to avoid a repeat of the situation that saw Harry Maguire join United from Leicester just one week before the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season after protracted negotiations with Leicester City.
The quick turnaround between the end of the this season and next has increased Solskjaer's desire for a swift resolution, according to the report.
But, as mentioned above, United will not be rushed into making an offer for Sancho and will instead wait for the right time to make their approach.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-01--Giggs outlines Man City transfer example Man United must follow

Ryan Giggs says Manchester United need to improve their strength in depth if they are to challenge next season .
United are on a high after they qualified for next season 's Champions League with a fine run of form in the second half of the season .
Yet , in the final few games United started to look a little jaded before they managed to beat Leicester City to secure their place in the top-four .
Speaking to Webby and O'Neill , United legend Giggs argued it was difficult for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to change the team during this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : `` As we were on such a good run it was hard for Ole to change the team .
`` He wanted to carry on that momentum and , eventually , because we were in lockdown and then playing the same team you 're going to have that tail off towards the end .
`` I did n't think it was a great performance against Leicester but it was gritty and we managed to go to a difficult place and get the result we needed . ''
Despite making the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to strengthen this summer , but he is confident from what he has seen of under Solskjaer .
`` I could n't put a number on the players .
I think Ole 's had great transfer windows so far , not only with players but he 's brought in good lads .
It looks like the culture , atmosphere and team spirit is really good .
`` If players who we can get in can enhance us if we have to defend and counter-attack but also break teams down when on the edge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we have been doing , especially since lockdown . ''
Giggs is not necessarily looking for players to come in and improve United 's first-choice XI but pointed to Manchester City as an example of how important squad depth is in the Premier League .
He added : `` The lads got a little bit tired .
Having a strength in depth where you 're able to change it and you 're not really weakening .
`` I think that 's what City have had ; if Sterling does n't play then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Silva does n't play then Foden comes in .
That sort of thing where it does n't really weaken them but you 're able to keep them fresh .
`` Also , something I experienced at United , every day in training is competitive .

`` If you sign Sancho or Grealish , everyone is looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place ?
No he 's not , I want to take us onto the next level ' .
So you need that strength in depth , quality and good lads as well . ''

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-01--The lockdown surge in 'off-road biker' complaints and what police are doing

Illegal off-road motorbikes are causing anger and frustration for people living across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester .
Riders have damaged public property , left tracks across children 's playgrounds and football pitches and in some cases caused themselves serious injury and even death .
Police have been working hard to curb the problem but one senior officer says things have become worse since the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown .
In some cases bikes are even being shipped in from Lancashire or Merseyside to be ridden in places like Stockport , Wigan and Rochdale .
Owning scrambler-style bikes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they are used to ride at licensed sites or on private property but it is when they are ridden on parks and public land .
Chief Inspector Gareth Firth is the man in charge of transport policing across the region and manages the Safer Roads Policing Team , which is called in to help with problem areas in Greater Manchester .
`` It 's definitely fair to say that there has been an increase in off-road bike activity during the lockdown , both off-road and on the road as well , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about off-road I mean in local parks and nature areas but also there 's the use of these bikes on the road as well , on carriageways and A-roads there 's been a marked increase . ''
Authorities will first try to close off problem areas using fencing or boulders to block entrances .
If riders continue to find their way through there will be further enforcement with new signs and patrols in place .
Finally , the police are called in and members of CI Firth 's team will flood an area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used to transport them and chasing down people spotted breaking the law .
A court order can then be given to allow the motorbikes to be crushed .
As well as the potential danger posed to people enjoying the outdoors , bikers are also putting their own safety at risk and there have been a number of crashes on roads or in tough to reach areas recently .
CI Firth pointed to an incident on Tuesday of this week , July 28 , involving a young man who fell from his bike in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alongside his friends , who were also on off-road bikes , on Common Lane , in Carrington when he fell from the seat .
After emergency services scrambled to reach him , the man was rushed to hospital but left fighting for his life because of the injuries .
`` These bikes pose a serious risk , '' CI Firth said .
`` There was an incident in the middle of June in Leigh .
a 34-year-old man and a seven-year-old boy sustained serious injuries riding a quad bike on a park .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ off-road bike riding on the road illegally collided with a vehicle and a 29-year-old male rider died .
`` It 's not just the damage and disturbance to local residents .
There are unfortunately and horrendously incidents like that man who passed away .
`` That rider from this week was left in a life-threatening condition and the young boy suffered significant serious injuries so that 's our concern . ''
While the majority of these rides end without injury , they can cause damage to land and are a concern for walkers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a police community support officer had to be taken to hospital because a rider deliberately rode at him while he patrolled in a country park .
The officer was walking through Reddish Vale Country Park , in Stockport , when two off road bikes appeared .
One of the riders deliberately drove at him before fleeing , police said at the time .
The PCSO suffered arm and leg injuries although he has since made a full recovery .
The chief inspector added : `` When I take my kids out for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ park and there 's a bike whizzing around , I quickly have to get them out of the way .
`` If I 'm concerned about that as a police officer then people who have n't got my background are certainly going to be worried . ''
One place which has had a particular problem with off-road bikers is Bickershaw Country Park in Leigh .
The former mine was transformed into a public park and nature reserve through the hard work of council staff and local volunteers .
But during the lockdown visits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ residents , frustrated at hearing the loud growls of the vehicles and seeing the damage , turned to the police for help .

Illegal off-road motorbikes are causing anger and frustration for people living across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester.
Riders have damaged public property, left tracks across children's playgrounds and football pitches and in some cases caused themselves serious injury and even death.
Police have been working hard to curb the problem but one senior officer says things have become worse since the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown.
In some cases bikes are even being shipped in from Lancashire or Merseyside to be ridden in places like Stockport, Wigan and Rochdale.
Owning scrambler-style bikes and quads is not against the law if they are used to ride at licensed sites or on private property but it is when they are ridden on parks and public land.
Chief Inspector Gareth Firth is the man in charge of transport policing across the region and manages the Safer Roads Policing Team, which is called in to help with problem areas in Greater Manchester.
"It's definitely fair to say that there has been an increase in off-road bike activity during the lockdown, both off-road and on the road as well," he said.
"When I talk about off-road I mean in local parks and nature areas but also there's the use of these bikes on the road as well, on carriageways and A-roads there's been a marked increase."
Authorities will first try to close off problem areas using fencing or boulders to block entrances. If riders continue to find their way through there will be further enforcement with new signs and patrols in place.

Finally, the police are called in and members of CI Firth's team will flood an area, seizing any illegal bikes or vehicles used to transport them and chasing down people spotted breaking the law. A court order can then be given to allow the motorbikes to be crushed.
As well as the potential danger posed to people enjoying the outdoors, bikers are also putting their own safety at risk and there have been a number of crashes on roads or in tough to reach areas recently.
CI Firth pointed to an incident on Tuesday of this week, July 28, involving a young man who fell from his bike in Trafford.
The 23-year-old man was riding alongside his friends, who were also on off-road bikes, on Common Lane, in Carrington when he fell from the seat.
After emergency services scrambled to reach him, the man was rushed to hospital but left fighting for his life because of the injuries.
"These bikes pose a serious risk," CI Firth said.
"There was an incident in the middle of June in Leigh. a 34-year-old man and a seven-year-old boy sustained serious injuries riding a quad bike on a park.
"On June 15 in Atherton an off-road bike riding on the road illegally collided with a vehicle and a 29-year-old male rider died.
"It's not just the damage and disturbance to local residents. There are unfortunately and horrendously incidents like that man who passed away.
"That rider from this week was left in a life-threatening condition and the young boy suffered significant serious injuries so that's our concern."
While the majority of these rides end without injury, they can cause damage to land and are a concern for walkers.
In one case earlier this year, a police community support officer had to be taken to hospital because a rider deliberately rode at him while he patrolled in a country park.
The officer was walking through Reddish Vale Country Park, in Stockport, when two off road bikes appeared.
One of the riders deliberately drove at him before fleeing, police said at the time. The PCSO suffered arm and leg injuries although he has since made a full recovery.
The chief inspector added: "When I take my kids out for example for a walk around the local park and there's a bike whizzing around, I quickly have to get them out of the way.
"If I'm concerned about that as a police officer then people who haven't got my background are certainly going to be worried."
One place which has had a particular problem with off-road bikers is Bickershaw Country Park in Leigh.
The former mine was transformed into a public park and nature reserve through the hard work of council staff and local volunteers.
But during the lockdown visits from bikers became a regular occurrence and residents, frustrated at hearing the loud growls of the vehicles and seeing the damage, turned to the police for help.
"In one weekend alone in May, right in the middle of lockdown, there were 21 reports relating to off-road bikes in just the Leigh area," CI Firth said.
"Not only does that increase demand on police but it also takes those assets away from other areas. Not only is having a significant impact on areas of local beauty - we've seen instances where these bikes are damaging and destroying local areas - but it's also taking some of our policing assets away from core policing.
"Nuisance and noise are the obvious problems but there's also a fear aspect. There have also been incidents of serious injury or even worse."

Dane Anderton is a councillor for the Leigh West ward, including Bickershaw Country Park.
He says problems have definitely become more serious during the lockdown and that he regularly receives calls about near misses involving walkers and bikers.
"I've had several residents contact me regularly by Facebook and in emails saying there was another near miss today. Maybe they were out with their dog and a bike came whizzing past," he said.
"There are several access points to the area and it's very well used by families and dog walkers because it's got some really good paths in there."
As well as being a popular spot for walkers, the park is home to a range of different species of wildlife, which were introduced to help naturalise the area after it was reclaimed.
But, Coun Anderton is concerned that the progress of the park project could be slowed by the problems with bikers.
"There's a particular site which comes off Crankwood Road and it's what's called the Rucks, it's the old pit soil from the mine," he said.
"To an off-road biker I imagine that's a very attractive site but at the same time it's extremely dangerous, it was only a couple of weeks ago that we had a near fatality we a gentleman and a young boy. It was a major incident and it took over three hours to get up there.
"It's a site for people to enjoy but not a place for people to come and disturb others or abuse what is the naturalisation of the environment."

"In front, I don't need to know. Cristiano of course."
Despite limiting himself to only Portuguese players it is safe to say Fernandes' team would take some beating, and the United midfielder believes his squad offers a bit of everything.
He added: "Carvalho he can cover side to side so I put him alone in defence. After you have Moutinho to organise your game.
