Jadon Sancho put up for sale by Man Utd with Red Devils ready to take £33million hit regardless of next season’s manager
MANCHESTER UNITED have put Jadon Sancho up for sale for £40million.
And the Red Devils plan to cash in on the England winger this summer – no matter who their manager is next season.
The £73m winger was frozen out by Erik ten Hag in August after falling out with the Dutchman.
He spent the next four months in exile before being loaned to his former club Borussia Dortmund in the New Year.
Sancho performed well back in Germany – helping them to reach the Champions League final at Wembley earlier this month.
That raised the prospect he could still have a future at United – particularly if Ten Hag is relieved of his duties.
However United have made it clear they would prefer to sell the 24-year-old – and have set the price for any clubs interested.
Dortmund have already made it clear they would like to take him back – but that is more likely to be a loan move.
Juventus have shown interest in the past while he also had offers from Saudi Arabia before the summer window closed last year.
United are looking to raise cash for new players during the current window as they will be limited by financial fair play restrictions.

It's starting to look like Sir Jim Ratcliffe doesn't know what he's doing
By Neil Custis
SIR JIM RATCLIFFE looked more than a little shame-faced when he headed into Manchester United’s dressing room to congratulate his FA Cup winners.
The plan had already been hatched ahead of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Manchester City . . . and this was all rather awkward.
It was a stunning performance from Ten Hag’s troops and United’s triumph over a team widely regarded as the best in the world will live long in the memory.
It was also a personal triumph for the unassuming guy who had arrived at Old Trafford full of life and ideas to make United better — which in many ways he has.
Having been dealt a dreadful hand with injuries in his second season, he tried to explain to Ratcliffe and his team just how much this has affected performances.
But it seems Sir Jim hasn’t listened. Nor has he taken notice of the way Ten Hag has carefully brought Saturday’s scorers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo into the first team — with spectacular results.
Ratcliffe has fired out emails criticising the state of an office, called the club museum ‘crap’ and withdrew travel and lunch benefits for United staff on FA Cup final day to cut costs.
There is early proof the new men overseeing United’s football department do not know what they are doing, not least in the way they deal with people . . . including the most important one of all — the manager.
Ratcliffe and his team seem to have spoken to anyone able to set up Subbuteo.
And everyone they have spoken to believes they have got the job.
Sancho joined United back in 2021 and still has two years remaining on his contract – but his move has been a huge disappointment.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag is still waiting to discover if he will be given the green light to continue as United boss next season.
United’s new owners Ineos are conducting an end of season review and his fate should be known this week.
If the Red Devils do decide to part ways with Ten Hag, one man who won’t be taking over is Thomas Tuchel who has decided he does not want the job this summer.
