According to reports, Jadon Sancho ‘would be open’ to leaving Manchester United during the upcoming January transfer window.

Sancho was a long-term Man Utd before he completed his £73m move to the Premier League giants from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.

The England international has endured a difficult couple of years at Man Utd as he has been unable to live up to his huge price tag.

The winger has impressed in fits and starts but he currently finds himself down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag.

Before the international break, Sancho was left out of Man Utd’s squad for their trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal.

Ten Hag claimed that the winger’s absence was due to his poor performances in training, but Sancho later argued that he’s been made to be a scapegoat.

The Dutch head coach remained coy when asked about Sancho during his press conference on Friday and the Man Utd player is currently training on his own.

Manchester Evening News are now reporting that ‘Sancho is open to leaving Manchester United in the January transfer window if he remains marooned at the club until the New Year’.

Regarding potential destinations for Sancho, the report adds: ‘Borussia Dortmund, where Sancho played for four years, and Nottingham Forest, managed by Sancho’s England Under-17 coach Steve Cooper, have been identified as possible options.

‘Sancho is believed to be reluctant to move to Saudi Arabia as he is still only 23. United received interest from Saudi clubs last week before the Saudi Pro League transfer window closed.’

 What’s the endgame for sorry-not-sorry Jadon Sancho in Manchester United stand-off?

Paul Merson has predicted that Sancho will “claw his way back into Ten Hag’s plans” before January.
