Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd ready to splash £100 million on Sancho

Manchester United are ready to spend big on their top transfer target as the club is willing to pay&nbsp; £100million to sign Jadon Sancho, according to the Mirror. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to assemble a fast, young Manchester United team as he looks to build an attack around the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. The club is willing to spend up to&nbsp;&nbsp;£100 million ($130 million) to sign the young winger less than a year after Dortmund paid&nbsp;&nbsp;£8 million ($10.45 million) to sign him from Manchester City. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested, while Manchester City will have a matching clause, but Manchester United appears the most likely destination should he leave Dortmund.&nbsp;

Zinedine Zidane claims there “will be no debate about the goalkeeping position next season” at&nbsp;Real Madrid, with Thibaut Courtois currently being linked with a move away from the club.

Philippe Coutinho still has a future at&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;despite ongoing speculation over a transfer to&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;this summer, according to Edmilson.

Manchester United&nbsp;have spent £700 million ($914m) to stand still, says Gary Neville, with there now 12 deals for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to oversee as the Red Devils prepare for another transfer refresh.
