Jadon Sancho is set to become Manchester United’s third-highest earner when he officially makes his Premier League transfer from the Bundesliga.

The 22-year old has been the Red Devils number one target and the Daily Star reports that Jadon Sancho has agreed on personal terms and agent fees with the Red Devils.

Sky Sports reported on Wednesday, September 9 that the deal went into hibernation because of agent fees and the personal terms of the player, a situation that seems resolved between the two parties.

Jadon Sancho will earn £250,000-a-week if Borussia Dortmund finally accepts United 90m deal plus £18m in add-ons bid.

He will be behind Paul Pogba (£300,000) and just below David De Gea on £350,000.

England teammates Marcus Rashford (£220,000) and Harry Maguire (£200,000) are just behind Sancho’s reported deal.

Sky Sports have further counted on Thursday that the Red Devils have weighed their options should in case Dortmund does not accept their offer for Sancho and still insists on their £110million asking price, they might switch their focus elsewhere.

"While Sancho is clearly United's number one target, we are told they are actively exploring alternatives in case they can’t get a deal done with Dortmund,” Dharmesh Sheth told the Transfer Show.

"United's recruitment team has compiled a shortlist to fill Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's priority position.

"We told you yesterday that agents fees and personal terms - for so long a problem - are no longer an issue. Now comes the issues over the fee. And United would be prepared to walk away from the deal unless Borussia Dortmund lower their asking price. 

"Dortmund wants £108m while United feel that is too high in the current climate."
