Jadon Sancho reaffirms desire to leave Manchester United with European giant interested

His exit is considered a ‘concrete possibility’ in the coming week

Jadon Sancho has reaffirmed his desire to leave Manchester United with a European giant interested in signing the winger.

The news comes after Sancho was left out of the squad for United’s opening game of the Premier League season against Fulham.

The 24-year-old fell out with manager Erik ten Hag last season leading to a period on the side lines for the player.

However, the Englishman has since reportedly made up with Ten Hag, although both the club and player appear to be ready to part ways with plenty of interested potential buyers.

One of these is Italian giants, Juventus, who have made “direct contact” with the player according to Fabrizio Romano.

This comes after Romano reported that “Jadon, [is] open to leaving United.”

He wrote: “As reported in the recent days, it’s 100% open with an exit considered concrete possibility in the final 7 days. Manchester United received an approach from Juventus as reported yesterday, DIRECT contact.”

Meanwhile the attacker has already been linked with the likes of PSG and Chelsea.

Sancho has failed to reach the same heights at Manchester United that earned him a £73m from Borussia Dortmund where he was electric, scoring 53 goals and assisting 67 in 158 games.

Since joining United he has scored 12 goals and assisted 6 in 83 games.

Sancho went back to Dortmund on loan last January to try and reignite some form, as he showed sparks of his old self as he helped Dortmund to a Champions League final.
