Daniel Harris gets info well before anyone again.
This will be done in a way both clubs can claim a win. We will still pay the €120m.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Pants are coming off
This is all but done
Just get this one over the line. Then we can focus on our next pieces of business. He looks like the next defining English talent of this generation (along with potentially Greenwood). But, that latest Jan tweet is big. Obviously, I want to pay as little as possible, but this is one transfer I'm willing to overpay due to a variety of factors (youth, marketing appeal, and it sets our budget for the remainder of the window).
My body cannot take it, oh my God some sexy football at OT next season.
First things though, can he get in the match day squad ahead of James?

Yep. Honestly if we end up paying a load in performance based add-ons its a win win anyway because it means he's done well.
We are almost there 
Early on at the start of this season Dan James showed he is much better on the left. I'd rather he rotated with Rashford and have Greenwood and Sancho on the right anyway.
How do we know that latest tweet is coming out from Dortmund?
Just reading the last few posts - how are people figuring this is almost done? What did I miss?
Beats me too
getting to the short strokesWe are almost there
Hold me
Jan is their mouthpiece
Unzipped.
A lot of people believe Jan Fjortoft is basically Dortmund's Simon Stone. Not sure about it myself.

He isn’t really their Simon Stone but he’s definitely briefed by their side.
Yeh. That's a bit bitter. Pogba left on the same trait. But I think SAF would gladly welcome him back, if possible.
That's definitely not the case.
I don’t think he is. He just seems to read stuff that’s already been reported and repeats it in a tweet all knowingly.
Unzipped. Lube is ready.
Also excited about Jadon Sancho signing.

How good is this guy then? He’s got good stats but so did Mkhitaryan and Kagawa. I suppose the major positive is that he fits into English football more than those 2.

As has been said several times, Jan is a pundit on Norwegian TV (and in Germany 2011-2014), and he gets his info directly from clubs and journalists in Germany. He doesn't seem to prefer one club over the others (maybe with the exception of his old club Eintracht Frankfurt), but he's in general very pro the Bundesliga and anything that can make German teams look good.
He gets a lot of inside info because of this, and continues to get it as long as he spouts what info the clubs want out there.

Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) date
Combine this with the Sky info that was released at around the same time as that Jan tweet, it’s definitely a brief and it’s likely a brief from both sides. I doubt we’d brief Jan and Dortmund would brief Sky UK.
Therss been an up to date briefing. That much is obvious
The news we will soon here guys. Can’t wait till it’s out.
Think he's friends with some of the directions at Dortmund. Seen videos of him having a chat with them several times.
Because people have deluded themselves into thinking that some Norwegian pundit is somehow Dortmund's official unofficial channel of communication.
Sounds like things are moving
That's the thing, he's friendly with directors at most German clubs due to his background. Makes sense he would spend more time with the bigger clubs if he can.
Don’t get my hopes up high, lads!
Great news just in time for the weekend. No work = no pants.
So it doesn't sound like the total fee is an issue. Just the way that the add ons and instalments are structured by the sounds of it. From those briefings it does sound like this one is practically done now!
I just hope the introduction video will have this song in it:
And instead it will say "Sancho oh ee oh ee o" for the chorus.

48 hours apparently
Oh, it’s up now. No going back.
Stoney is going to come up with the goods within the next hour or so to really get the party started.
Not long left until we are all at full mast, boys.

Lighten up man, even your guys want this. Can’t have Sancho going to Bad Ragaz!
