Manchester United are confident of beating Chelsea to sign Jadon Sancho this summer.
Borussia Dortmund are ready to sell this budding England star and want to create a bidding war between the Premier League giants.
Frank Lampard wants Sancho to replace ageing wingers Willian and Pedro.
But the Mirror says United believe they are in pole position to secure the 19-year-old.
The Red Devils are confident their strong connection with Dortmund will give them an advantage in negotiations.
Red Devils chief Ed Woodward has already committed to spending big in the summer and Sancho, who already has 11 caps for England, is a prime target.
