Jadon Sancho is being offered the chance to follow the likes of David Beckham in wearing the legendary no.7 shirt at Manchester United.
Dortmund’s England winger, 20, is at the centre of a tug of war with the German club desperate to tie him to an extended deal.
But United already have a lucrative deal on the table and have set aside the no.7 shirt for him, previously worn by the greats like Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, Bryan Robson and George Best.
Sancho remains the hottest young property in Europe with Chelsea also in the hunt for his services. England team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi admitted last week to being keen to be reunited with him at club level.
