A Big Deal: Manchester United agreed on a deal with Jadon Sancho

A BIG DEAL not small
There was a time when many world class players would practically be begging to play for a club like Manchester United. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, player recruitment has been on a sad decline.
Manchester United were linked with Jadon Sancho before the start of this season and it may well look like the club are about to go all in for the 19 year old.
Well worth over €160m, we will take a look on why the price tag is there. But you will get to decide if he is indeed worth that much.
Sancho is still only 19 years old but his stats this season are almost on par with that of Barcelona legend, Lionel Messi.
Whoscored.com gives Sancho a 7.59 rating, which is right there among the most elite players in world football right now.
The England International played most of his games this season as a right winger, a position United desperately need to fill.
With 17 games overall on the right wing, Sancho has managed to score 6 goals and provide 9 assists. From the left wing, he has 5 goals, 4 assists and 4 goals and 4 assists as a second striker. This makes a total of 15 goals and 17 assists across all competitions more than any other teenager in the world.
In addition to goals and assists, his build up play is among the best in Europe. With 1.8 shots, 2 key passes and 2.5 dribbles per game, has playmaking skillset is just what Manchester United have longed for since Paul Pogba got injured. The creativity Sancho brings exceeds all expectations and would instantly transform the team.
Reports suggests that the two clubs are still some ways apart on a deal but United have indeed showed interest and Dortmund are at the point where they can afford to sell.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
