JADON SANCHO could be given a Manchester United lifeline when Sir Jim Ratcliffe joins the club.
Billionaire chemical engineer Ratcliffe is buying a 25 per cent stake in United from the unpopular Glazer family for £1.3billion.
And the mega-rich businessman will turn to his chief lieutenant Sir Dave Brailsford in a bid to turn the club around.
According to The Mirror, Brailsford is taking a psychology-based approach alongside therapist Steve Peters at Team Sky.
And it could prove to benefit squad outcast Sancho, who has been exiled from the first team since September.
The 23-year-old winger was fuming after being dropped for United’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal, which Erik ten Hag put down to performances in training.

Sancho sensationally spoke out on social media to claim he was being used as a “scapegoat”.
And after refusing to apologise to his manager for the online outburst, Sancho has been out of the fold ever since.
He has been banished from first-team training since September and instead trains with United’s academy teams.
But Ratcliffe is believed to be focussed on bringing in more homegrown players.

That could offer Sancho his route back into the side.
But the winger has been linked with a January move away from Manchester, with a move to Saudi Arabia touted.
Al-Hilal are the latest to be interested in Sancho as they look to replace injured Brazil superstar Neymar.
