The signing of Jadon Sancho at Manchester United this summer was the first of three marquee transfers at the club.
It was hard not to be impressed by Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo all arriving at Old Trafford in the summer. While United didn't address their need for a midfielder, their transfer business was a statement of intent. It's just a shame that United haven't posed much of a threat in the Premier League this season. That statement of intent tragically only lasted a few games.
Although all three signings were shrewd acquisitions, Sancho was the first through the door and the £72.9m fee that Borussia Dortmund accepted seemed outstanding value for United. They had landed one of Europe's most exciting young forwards. Sancho was a player that scored 50 goals and recorded 64 assists in 137 games in Germany. The transfer appeared quite the coup.
