      Jadon Sancho ‘close to agreeing shock PSG transfer’ just days after returning to Man Utd fold

      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. Jadon Sancho is ‘close to agreeing personal terms to PSG’Credit: AlamyBut Sancho revived his career with a loan back to Borussia Dortmund – three years after his £73million transfer to Old Trafford. 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. But, Ten Hag spoke out about welcoming the player back into the squad after they held talks to squash their past disputes.He commented: “As we said, we’ve drawn the line.”Manchester United needs good players and Jadon is a good player.

Love Bradley!” wrote a second observerBut other fans pointed out that, back in the day, Reid could in fact give Crouch a run for his money rhyme-wise.READ MORE SUN STORIESThis message typified such revelations: “I remember singing ‘he’s blue he’s round he’s worth a million pound…Peter Reid!'”One fan helpfully added for today’s generation: “A million was a lot of money football transfer wise in 1985 kids.” More
