Manchester United are reportedly looking to offload Jadon Sancho this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain said to be in discussions with the Red Devils over a deal.
Manchester United have reportedly reached a decision concerning the future of Paris Saint-Germain-linked Jadon Sancho.
The 24-year-old has spent pre-season with his senior teammates as part of the Red Devils’ travelling squad for the club’s summer tour in the United States.
Sancho has featured for Man United in friendlies against Rangers, Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool so far, failing to find the net or provide an assist.
Regardless, it is a major turnaround for the career of the former England international to be involved under the reign of Erik ten Hag, with the pair enduring a well-documented falling out last season.
The winger’s reluctance to apologise to the Dutchman led to a return to Borussia Dortmund for the second half of the 2023-24 campaign, in which Sancho reached the Champions League final with the Germans.

Man United looking to sell PSG-linked Sancho this summer?
According to Football Insider, Manchester United have decided their transfer strategy around out-of-favour attacker Sancho as the summer window deadline approaches.
Despite him being reintegrated into the Red Devils’ senior side during pre-season, it is understood that the club are hoping to offload the 24-year-old permanently this summer.
The report claims that a move to Ligue 1 powerhouses PSG for Sancho is a distinct possibility and could materialise before the end of August.
It was suggested earlier this week that Man United and Les Parisiens have held initial talks over a potential deal for the 23-time international.
Luis Enrique‘s side have supposedly identified Sancho as an attacker who could help fill the goalscoring void left following the departure of the club’s all-time leading goalscorer Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.

Man United are not afraid to cut ties
As well as Sancho, it is believed that Man United are also willing to end their association with £82m winger Antony before the start of the new term.
It would be an understatement to say that the Brazilian has failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford since joining from Ajax during the summer of 2022.
Ten Hag could be low on attacking options should Antony and Sancho both depart soon, especially considering that Rasmus Hojlund is set to be sidelined until at least September due to injury.
Brentford’s Ivan Toney has been mooted as a possible arrival at the Theatre of Dreams, although Man United’s necessity for another striker has been reduced since the signing of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in July.
