Manchester United have completed the transfer of England winger Jadon Sancho from Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
The two clubs had reached an agreement for the transfer earlier this month, with Dortmund saying United would pay £72.9m for the 21-year-old.
“I’ll always be grateful to Dortmund for giving me the opportunity to play first team football, although I always knew that I would return to England one day,” Sancho, a former youth player at United’s rivals Manchester City, told the club’s website.
“The chance to join Manchester United is a dream come true and I just cannot wait to perform in the Premier League.”
Sancho emerged as United’s No. 1 transfer target last year but the clubs could not agree on a fee.
He scored 16 goals and made 20 assists in 38 games for Dortmund in all competitions in the 2020-21 season, forming a lethal partnership with Norway striker Erling Haaland.
