Erling Haaland has congratulated Jadon Sancho on his move to Manchester United.
The Borussia Dortmund striker sent a message to United’s newest player wishing him well.
Sancho spoke about Haaland in his interview with the club website.
He said, of Haaland and Jude Bellingham: “They’re great lads with great potential as well, so I’m looking forward to where they’re going to be soon.”
His comments are pretty telling. Sancho knows they are both using Dortmund as a developmental stepping stone club like he did. One or both could even join him at Manchester United in the future.
Jadon Sancho signed a deal at United which will run until 2026 with a further year option.
The England international is away on holiday but expected back at the start of August.
United’s first game is on August 14 and there are two more league games before the month’s end. He could be asked to take extra responsibility early on if Marcus Rashford undergoes a shoulder operation.
Jadon Sancho to Manchester United: A timeline
- August 2017

Sancho’s performances for Dortmund saw United linked with a move again. The reports said a future move would cost £100 million.

United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League ended any hopes of signing Sancho that summer. United signed Dan James instead.
- August-September 2020
United refused to pay Dortmund’s £108 million asking price. The club ignored Dortmund’s deadline and the German club refused to negotiate.
