Juventus send initial offer to Man United for Jadon Sancho

Serie A giants Juventus have reportedly sent an initial offer to Manchester for the signing of ostracised winger Jadon Sancho.

The 23-year-old last played for the Red Devils in August, as he was banished from the first-team squad following his falling out with Dutch manager Erik ten Hag. He is expected to leave the club this January, and Juventus are said to be keen.

As Pulse Sports reported, the Old Lady opened a line of communication with Manchester United to discuss Sancho’s situation.

They are said to desire a loan move but are only willing to cover a part of his salary. However, the Premier League side is said to be holding out on an outright transfer. 

Juventus are now said to have made a concrete offer and are proposing to acquire him on loan while paying a third of the Englishman’s wages. They are also said to have added an option to buy to the deal.

The player, however, is reportedly not keen on a move to Turin, as he has his heart set on a return to Borussia Dortmund.

Meanwhile, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes explained why he deferred penalty responsibility to Marcus Rashford against Everton, despite the game being far from won.

Ten Hag's squad destroyed the Toffees 3-0 at Goodison Park, vaulting themselves into the top six and keeping Everton firmly in the relegation zone.

Alejandro Garnacho scored the first goal of the game with an incredible strike, and Marcus Rashford added a second goal from the penalty spot. Manchester United won handily, with Anthony Martial completing the scoring.
