Man Utd transfer news: Jadon Sancho talks held as Chelsea drop summer hint

Manchester United are looking to offload a number of players this summer, including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, while Ruben Amorim is keen to strengthen his attack

Manchester United are undergoing a major rebuild under Ruben Amorim this summer after enduring their worst ever Premier League campaign. United finished 15th last season and also failed to qualify for the Champions League after losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final.

The likes of Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have all left the club on free transfers, while Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are expected to be sold.

United have already forked out £62.5million to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves and they are also working on a deal for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, having lodged an improved bid worth more than £60m.

With all that in mind, Mirror Football has taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours from Old Trafford…

Sancho talks

Manchester United have reportedly held talks with Juventus over a deal for Jadon Sancho, with Fenerbahce also interested in the winger.

According to reports from Italy, Juventus were keen to find out how feasible a move for Sancho is and club chiefs had a video call with United on Wednesday to discuss a deal. Juventus are keen to sign a new winger, with both Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula expected to leave.

However, reports from Turkey have claimed that Sancho has agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce. They are said to be willing to pay Sancho €10m (£8.5m) per year, while United have set a price tag of around €20m (£17m).

Nkunku hint

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has opened the door for Christopher Nkunku to leave the club this summer, with Manchester United said to be interested in the forward.

Nkunku has struggled for regular gametime since joining the Blues from RB Leipzig two years ago and when asked about the player’s future, Maresca said: “If Christo is here with us, it is because we think he can help us and he can be with us even next season. But as you said, there are many speculations, not just about Christo, about many players.

“And then if something is going to happen, I don’t know because we said many times when the transfer window is open, anything can happen in terms of players that can arrive or players that can leave.”

Rashford loan

According to the Guardian, Barcelona are interested in signing Marcus Rashford on loan this summer.

The forward is expected to leave Manchester United this summer and has publicly teased a move to Barcelona. The report states that United will want a fee-paying loan, but the Red Devils may have to take a hit on his wages.

Rashford is among their highest earners, taking home a reported £370,000-a-week, and it is claimed United ‘may be forced to accept’ a deal that involves Barcelona only paying a portion of his wages.
