Manchester United have offered Jadon Sancho the No.7 jersey at Old Trafford in a bid to lure him away from Borussia Dortmund.
The Bundesliga giants are bidding to persuade ex-Manchester City youth Sancho to stay, and they are prepared to hand him a new improved contract.
But a lucrative deal is on the table from United too as they aim to bring the 20-year-old back to the city. The Red Devils are doing all they can to win the tug-of-war against Dortmund.
And the promise of setting aside the No.7 shirt, the Mirror say, could help make the difference for United. Sancho would be following in the footsteps of a host of club legends if he were to accept the proposal.
