      by

      JADON SANCHO is close to agreeing personal terms for a move away from Manchester United, reports say. The forward had a public fallout with United manager Erik ten Hag last September which resulted in his exile from the squad.

The winger made 21 appearances and grabbed three goals on his way to re-finding form.Still, Dortmund were unable to make a permanent move for Sancho – paving his return to United. And the England international did make his way back to training and appeared in the fold for the upcoming season. READ MORE ON MAN UTDSancho even played his first game for United since August as he lined up in a friendly against Rangers.Ten Hag’s side won 2-0 with Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill scoring and £50m man Leny Yoro playing in defence.But in another twist, according to Foot Mercato and Lequipe, Sancho and PSG are close to an agreement on personal terms.

United are believed to have already been in talks with PSG over the signing of defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte. And the Ligue 1 champions are also understood to also be interested in Red Devils captain Bruno Fernandes. United had placed a £40million price tag on Sancho – almost half what they paid Dortmund in 2021.
