“Moreover, formal transfer processing is still subject to the successful settlement of all medical tests needed and tests.” Dortmund does not provide details about the length of the contract, but the report said it will last five years.
Sancho will be the second most expensive English footballer when he joined United, who signed Harry Mague two years ago from Leicester for £ 80 million.
United have been interested in bringing Sancho to Old Trafford since last year.
After failing to meet the price of £ 100 million Dortmund last year, the Premier League club has negotiated the protracts since the end of the season in an effort to tie the transfer.
