Manchester United finally completed a £73 million move for the Borussia Dortmund winger after pursuing the Manchester City youth product for well over a year.

Jadon Sancho enjoyed an incredible four seasons with the Bundesliga giants, during which he scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 187 appearances for the club in all competitions.

The England international is ready to to become a star player at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Manchester United have been in dire need of a player like Jadon Sancho, who is comfortable playing in any position across the front line. Sancho's pace, dribbling and crossing ability is likely to compliment the movement and finishing of Edinson Cavani.

#2 Marcus Rashford, LW

Marcus Rashford came in for some heavy criticism for his performances for Manchester United towards the end of the season. It's difficult to believe that a player of his caliber is still only 23-years-old.

Rashford's decision-making and finishing let him down at times last season. The England international did, however, end the season with 21 goals and 15 assists in all competitions for Manchester United.

Rashford is a favorite of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's and the Manchester United faithful. The winger is likely to play a starring role for Manchester United once again next season.

#1 Edinson Cavani, CF

Manchester United's decision to extend Edinson Cavani's deal by a year despite Harry Kane's desire to leave Tottenham Hotspur showed the faith the club have in the Uruguayan.

Edinson Cavani was one of the signings of the 2020 summer transfer window. Manchester United signed the striker on a free transfer after the expiration of his contract with PSG.

Cavani ended the season with 17 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United. His movement, finishing and desire to help develop youngsters such as Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood resulted in Manchester United extending his contract.

Manchester United are unlikely to sign a striker this summer as the club will place their faith in Edinson Cavani and look to groom Mason Greenwood as a centre-forward.
