Transfer Talk: Man United to transfer Jadon Sancho out

TOP STORY: Man United to let Sancho leave
Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs interested in Jadon Sancho, who will be leaving Manchester United this summer, as has been reported by Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist has insisted that the Red Devils remain completely certain that the winger will be leaving Old Trafford permanently regardless of who their manager is for the 2024-25 campaign. This comes with there also having been doubts over the future of manager Erik ten Hag despite the Dutchman winning the FA Cup, with Ten Hag's public falling out with Sancho being a major factor in the 24-year-old being loaned out to Dortmund in January.
Sancho recorded three goals and three assists in 21 matches across the Bundesliga and Champions League during that spell.
Now, the Black and Yellow are hoping to bring Sancho back to Signal Iduna Park permanently just three years after the Englishman left them to join Man United. The Red Devils board wants to bring in £40m for Sancho and Dortmund will face competition from other unnamed clubs.
Any move will bring an end to a disappointing time in Manchester for Sancho, who offered signs of the promise that earned his big-money move as the winger notably helped the Dortmund reach the Champions League final.
