Manchester United have a lot of business pending in the transfer market despite the fact that the season has begun. The Red Devils are still trying to strengthen their squad by adding players in the areas that need immediate attention.
United have already signed numerous strong players like Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. Zirkzee has already delivered as a new signing by scoring the late winner against Fulham in United’s 1-0 Premier League opener victory.
The Red Devils have to keep the financial rules in mind to avoid any issues with the Financial Fair Play. United resorted to loan deals during the latter stages of the last summer to sign Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat.

However, the best way to avoid such a situation is to sell or loan the players who are surplus to requirements. Jadon Sancho is one of those players as rumours of transfer increased after missing the opening game against Fulham last weekend.
The 24-year-old spent half of the last season on loan at his former club Borussia Dortmund after the unwanted drama. Sancho and United manager Erik ten Hag suffered a complete breakdown in their relationship earlier last season that seemed unrepairable.
However, both of them reconciled during the summer as the Englishman featured in the pre-season tour for the Red Devils. Ten Hag used Sancho as the false nine in the absence of any natural main forward option during the pre-season.
Manchester United consider Jadon Sancho’s situation still open ahead of the final week of summer transfer window.

According to Spanish publication SPORT, Barcelona want Sancho on loan during the summer to strengthen their squad. We already reported that Man United have put a £40 million valuation on Sancho with potential big expected from Chelsea.
Barcelona are struggling financially and cannot afford to make a big-money move for Sancho despite their requirements. United signed the 24-year-old for £73 million and faces a big decision over him as his valuation continues to drop.

The Red Devils could take the loan deal if no club accepts the valuation they have put for the player. Sancho earns £250,000 per week which is a hefty wage to give to a player who will struggle to break into the first team.
