According to reports, Manchester United have declined to speak with Juventus about a prospective loan transfer for Jadon Sancho. The 23-year-old English forward has been an outcast at Old Trafford. This happened after a public confrontation with manager Erik Ten Hag in early September, during which he claimed he was being made a “scapegoat”. Now, after refusing to apologize to Erik Ten Hag, Sancho could well be on the transfer list.

Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho moving to Juventus?
The winger been linked to a January move to Saudi Arabia. It follows the summer interest from Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus has “asked for information” on Jadon Sancho in recent days.
However, the Serie A leaders are only interested in a loan transfer rather than a permanent move. And Manchester United are willing to wait for permanent transfer proposals.
Juventus also expected United to pay a share of Jadon Sancho’s £350,000-per-week wages to complete the transfer. This is something that the Red Devils are unwilling to do. As a result, negotiations with the two-time European champions have yet to commence.
In addition to Saudi Arabia and Juventus, Jadon Sancho has been linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is thought to be willing to sell him when he joins the United board of directors as a result of his investment in the club.
Jadon Sancho joined from Dortmund three years ago for £73 million. In 82 appearances for the Red Devils, he has only 12 goals and six assists. He has also not played for England since October 2021.
Sancho could move in the winter transfer window
If Jadon Sancho continues to refuse to apologise to Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United will attempt to move him in January. United manager, Erik Ten Hag is unwilling to back down in his feud with Sancho. The winger has been barred from the first-team squad since practically calling Ten Hag a liar after being pulled from defeat at Arsenal owing to a poor attitude in training.
In addition to supposedly weak efforts on the training ground and repeated lateness, Mail Sport has discovered that Ten Hag has cited Jadon Sancho’s influence among team-mates as a reason of concern, despite the player’s robust denial.

Manchester United are desperate to get rid of Jadon Sancho in January. They are offering to underwrite his £300,000-a-week wages. Juventus and former club Borussia Dortmund have both been connected with Jadon Sancho. But neither will be willing to match United’s £60 million asking price for a player who is unlikely to have played for more than four months at that point.
Jadon Sancho’s transfer worth will fall further from the £73 million United spent for him two years ago. Now, the club fears it will not recover until he shines again. It will be interesting to see what approach Manchester United takes.
