Barcelona Exploring Possibility of Signing Manchester United Outcast Jadon Sancho

Fractures are growing between Manchester United head coach Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. The pair has been involved in a high-profile disagreement over the last couple of weeks, which looks set to cost the latter his place in the first team.

Sancho arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 with much expectation, but it has been a tough time for the Englishman. He had hoped to resurrect his career this season, but Ten Hag does not appear to count on him, citing issues in training as the leading reason.

A departure from Man Utd is looking increasingly likely, and numerous clubs will be keeping tabs on the situation. According to Sport, one of those is Barcelona, who are interested in signing Sancho on loan.

Barcelona sees Sancho as someone who can contribute on the left wing, a position where they don’t have much depth following the departures of Ez Abde and Ansu Fati to Real Betis and Brighton, respectively.

However, completing a deal would be very complicated for Barcelona, as Sancho is currently on an incredibly lucrative contract at Man Utd. They would need the Premier League side to pay the majority of the wages for an operation to be completed. At this stage, that looks unlikely.
