JAKARTA - Manchester United fans have a theory about the day their beloved club will sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. August 7th, that's the date.
The reason? The No.7 is what the Englishman will wear at Old Trafford.
The theory put forward by Manchester United supporters was born last summer, when the date the new players joined coincided with the jersey number they received.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was announced on June 29 and he is wearing the No. 29, Harry Maguire was announced on August 5 and he is wearing the No. 5. Meanwhile, Daniel James, who was announced on June 12, even though did not wear the number 12, he chose the number with the reverse number, namely No. 21.
Jersey No. These 7 became icons at Old Trafford because players like George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo had worn them in the past. However, it is currently empty and it seems plausible that Sancho will be assigned this number.
Manchester United are willing to meet Dortmund's asking price of 120 million euros for the 20-year-old. But they want to pay it in three installments until 2022.
The German team did not disadvantage this option, even though they had set a deadline for August 10.
If this theory holds, there will be only three days left for Manchester United. We'll just wait.
