The German club set the deadline, as it doesnt want its preparations for next season to be disrupted by a long and drawn out transfer.

United remain favourites to sign Sancho, although the clubs are nowhere near agreeing on a fee. 

Sources recently claimed Dortmund had rejected the Red Devils' initial offer of 89 million pounds, and are holding out for something closer to 110 million.
