Man United outcast Jadon Sancho could be offered another escape route in January… with RB Leipzig set to battle German rivals Borussia Dortmund for forward

• Jadon Sancho looks set to leave Old Trafford in the January transfer window
• He has been banished from first-team since effectively calling Erik ten Hag a liar
• It’s LAZY to criticise a team for setting up defensively. It requires intelligence, hard work, discipline and selflessness. Well done Man United – It’s All Kicking Off 

German side RB Leipzig are reportedly interested in the signing Manchester United star Jadon Sancho.

The England forward has been banished from the first-team since effectively calling Erik ten Hag a liar after he was dropped from United’s Premier League defeat at Arsenal in September. 

Sancho looks set to leave Old Trafford in the January transfer window, and Leipzig could offer him an exit route, according to Bild.

Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund are also keen on re-signing the forward, but his £17million-a-yeal salary will prove to be an issue.

Barcelona and Juventus are also monitoring developments.

Manchester United football director John Murtough was in Saudia Arabia for transfer talks earlier this month with the club seeking to sell players to raise funds for January signings.

Off-loading Sancho is United’s priority next month, either on loan or in a permanent deal. 

United would also listen to any offers made for Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial and Casemiro, but will not force them out as all three remain important members of Ten Hag’s squad.

United’s need to sell is heightened by their accounting situation as the club are believed to be close to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules limit.

A strong indication of the their delicate financial position came last July when they were fined £260,000 by UEFA for what was described as ‘minor break-even deficit’ in the 2022/23 accounting period.

United continued to spend heavily last summer, with Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana and Mason Mount moving to Old Trafford for combined fees of almost £200m in a splurge that they cannot continue next month.

Ten Hag wants to strength at centre-back, in midfield and up front, but may have to rely on loan signings if the club are unable to sell.
