THE DEAL! Spies reckon United have been tracking Sancho for ages, and they’ve finally reached an agreement – including a huge buy out clause! All that’s left is to agree a price with Dortmund, but a figure of around £109 million is expected to be enough, which would be a new British transfer record! ANTI-UNITED CLAUSE? When Man. City sold youngster Brahim Diaz to Real Madrid, they added an ‘anti-United’clause, basically meaning that Real would lose out on big money if they sold him to The Red Devils! However, they didn’t add that clause when Sancho left in 2017, so Dortmund aren’t against selling to United! SANCHO CONFIRMS? Last September, the winger said he wouldn’t mind a return to England, but he left an even bigger hint recently on social…

YOUCEF ATAL NICE With 90 sprint speed and 92 acceleration, Atal has the pace to burst up the right flank! The proper attacking full-back also has a five-star weak foot, four-star skills and top agility and dribbling, so he’s probably even more effective as a right winger a bit further up the pitch! REECE JAMES CHELSEA The Blues young gun, who can also play at CDM, costs around £5 million, so even some Championship sides with big budgets can snap him up! You won’t regret it, either – James has got the potential to hit the late 80s! FABRICIO BUSTOS INDEPENDIENTE There are some hidden gems in Argentina, including rapid RB Bustos! He’s actually a really similar player to Atal – he’s got high pace stats, the potential to reach…

FACTFILE Age: 20 Club: Man. United Position: Forward Country: England HERO GROWING UP! ELLA SAYS: “Cristiano Ronaldo. When he played for Man. United I used to watch clips on YouTube of him doing his skills in matches, and then I’d go out into the garden and practise them! I loved the way he played, his passion for the game and just how hard working he is. I wanted to be just like him and just as skilful as him!” SCHOOL DAYS! ELLA SAYS: “I worked hard because I wasn’t the cleverest. I had to revise a lot for my exams, but I passed them all! I loved all my teachers and still stay in contact with some now. My favourite subject was PE. I went to every single after school…

THE TIME OFF! ROMELU SAYS: “I miss the competitiveness, I miss training sessions and I miss playing in front of the fans. Right now is a moment for me to analyse my game and see what I’ve done in the last six months, and then to take it forward and try to add something else!” PLAYING FOR INTER! ROMELU SAYS: “Inter were my team in Italy when I was a kid, so it’s a dream to play here.I loved R9 Ronaldo–he was here when I was six or seven–and then later Adriano. I still remember the UEFA Cup final that Ronaldo played in and won in 1998!” WORKING WITH CONTE! ROMELU SAYS: “Antonio Conte has helped me get more assists. When we analyse our game and see positions when we…

1 Gnabry joined Bayern for less than Є7 million in 2018 - thats a bargain considering he's probably worth around ten times that now 2 Gnabry started off his career in Arsenal’s academy way back in 2011, after having spells at six different German clubs’ youth teams! 3 After campaigns with Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim, Bayern swooped to sign him in 2018 – and he won their Player Of The Year award in his first season! 4 He shone big time for Germany at youth level – he was top scorer at the 2016 Olympics, then won the Under-21 Euros in 2017! 5 He stepped up to the senior side with ease, too – he hit a hat-trick on his international debut, and has scored 13 goals in just 13…
