Sancho has started to look more like his old self in Germany, with Dortmund being helped to the Champions League final – where they will face Real Madrid at Wembley on June 1. Questions are, however, being asked of what the summer will bring.

United are open to offers, but reports that they will demand at least 75 per cent of the £73m ($93m) that they paid Dortmund for Sancho in 2021. BVB may struggle to find those kinds of funds, especially with a £275,000-a-week contract to be taken into account.
