Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho appears to be heading for a January exit, with Juventus emerging as the frontrunners for his signature.
The £73m winger has been frozen out at Old Trafford following a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag and hasn't featured for the Red Devils since August.
Sancho's United Nightmare
Sancho's relationship with Ten Hag broke down spectacularly after the Dutchman claimed the player wasn't training well enough - a claim the England international vehemently denied on social media.
Despite months of speculation about a potential reconciliation, the 23-year-old now looks certain to leave Manchester, at least temporarily.
Juventus Ready to Pounce
Italian giants Juventus are reportedly preparing a loan offer with an option to buy, seeing Sancho as an ideal replacement for Nicolo Fagioli who is serving a seven-month ban for gambling violations.
The Turin club believe they can revive Sancho's career, much like they did with Paul Pogba after his difficult spell at United.
What This Means for United
For United, offloading Sancho would remove a significant distraction as Ten Hag tries to turn around their disappointing season. However, it raises questions about their long-term planning given the massive investment in the player just two years ago.
With Champions League qualification looking increasingly unlikely, United may need to accept a significant financial hit when Sancho eventually departs permanently.
