Manchester United are reportedly prepared to take a ‘significant loss’ on Jadon Sancho with Erik ten Hag keen to avoid an ’empty gesture’ from him.
United are determined to offload Sancho with United boss Ten Hag viewing the winger as a disruptive influence on the rest of his squad.
Sancho was involved in a nasty fall-out with Ten Hag this term with the Dutchman publicly slamming his player in the media for his poor application in training.
Sancho responded by claiming he had been made a ‘scapegoat’ by Ten Hag before he was banned from all of United’s first-team facilities as punishment.
It was thought that Sancho could return from the cold if he said sorry to his boss, but according to the Daily Mail, there is now a ‘growing feeling’ that Ten Hag will view any potential apology as an ’empty gesture’ and it will not satisfy him.
That means that United are now prepared to take a ‘significant loss’ on the player in the January transfer window, having splashed out £73m on him in 2021.
Barcelona, Juventus and Sancho’s former club Borussia Dortmund have all registered interest in signing the Englishman.

Meanwhile, former United star Dimitar Berbatov believes Sancho ‘overestimated his own value’ when he spoke out against Ten Hag.
‘I think Sancho is overestimating his importance,’ Berbatov said. ‘He’s not won that many trophies with them.
‘United can easily decide to get rid of Sancho over this. As talented as he is, and we all saw it at Dortmund, he has yet to show any of this at United.’
