Despite resolving his differences with Erik ten Hag, there is still doubt about Sancho's role in the team, especially after he was left out of the squad for the season opener against Fulham. According to, the Red Devils, who were initially only interested in a permanent transfer, are now willing to consider sending Sancho out on loan.

A loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season is also a possibility that United are open to exploring. However, given the financial constraints many European clubs are facing, finding a buyer willing to meet United's initial demands – £40 million ($52.8 million) – has proven challenging.
Juventus, a club with a longstanding interest in Sancho, have been closely monitoring the situation. However, due to tight budgets across Europe, largely influenced by stricter financial regulations, the Bianconeri have yet to make a formal offer. Reports from Italy indicate that Juventus have considered various options, including a loan with an option to buy, as they prepare to replace Federico Chiesa, who has attracted interest from Barcelona.
DID YOU KNOW?
Sancho remains open to exploring his options. Those close to the player have confirmed that he is fully aware of the critical juncture he faces in his career. Since his high-profile transfer to United in 2021, Sancho has struggled to live up to expectations, with inconsistent performances and limited game time. He recognizes that another underwhelming season could significantly damage his reputation and future prospects. He is eager to find a situation where he can reignite his career, whether that be in the Premier League or Serie A.

While United are not under immediate pressure to offload Sancho, the club remain keen on securing additional funds to complete their summer transfer plans. Their primary target remains Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte – which the club are looking to finance through the sale of other players, rather than relying solely on Sancho's departure.
Scott McTominay is one player who could be sacrificed to raise the necessary funds. Napoli have shown strong interest in the Scottish international, with United reportedly willing to accept offers exceeding £25m ($33m). In addition to McTominay, other players like Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof could also be moved on before the transfer window closes.
