Watford due today cash boost from Man Utd Sancho deal

Watford are due a bumper windfall from Manchester United's deal for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.

The England international is expected to complete a move to Old Trafford later this summer, after a deal worth £73million was agreed between the two sides.

Sancho joined the Hornets as a youngster, aged just seven, but at the age of 14 moved to Manchester City.

The Hornets will gain three per cent in sell-on fees as part of continued contractual stipulations from his departure, giving them a total of £2.19m from the reported fee, reports the Watford Observer.

City themselves are expected to make around £10m from the deal as part of a sell-on clause inserted into the player's contract when he made the move to Dortmund in 2017.
