Manchester United are reportedly preparing a late £90m bid for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils' pursuit of the 20-year-old has been a constant presence throughout the summer transfer window, but there has still been no progress in talks between the clubs heading into the final week of the window.
Dortmund are adamant that they will not lower their £109m asking price for Sancho and have publicly insisted that he will not leave the club on a number of occasions in recent weeks.
United still regard Sancho as their top target but are unwilling to stump up £109m in a post-coronavirus market.
The Daily Mail reports that Ed Woodward will instead return with an offer worth an initial £65m which will then include achievable add-ons to take the overall value of the transfer to £90m.
United are hopeful that the late bid will test Dortmund's resolve late in the window, although the Bundesliga outfit are not thought to be under any pressure to cash in on one of their star assets.
Donny van de Beek remains the only signing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have made this summer, although they have been heavily linked with Alex Telles and are also thought to be considering a number of Sancho alternatives.
