MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to give Jadon Sancho the boot this summer in a sensational swap deal, it’s been claimed.
The England international was frozen out by Erik ten Hag last September for hitting back at the public blasting he received from the Dutchman following United’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal.
United shipped Sancho out on loan to former club Borussia Dortmund in January to allow him to get some playing time.
Ten Hag has yet to re-open the door for an Old Trafford return for the £73million man, who he’s reportedly willing to use as a makeweight to sign Dortmund ace Donyell Malen.
That’s according to Bild, who claim United are interested in a potential “swap deal” between the pair.
The German newspaper, however, also claims Arsenal are sniffing around the Netherlands international.
Malen, 25, has been in great form for Dortmund this season, scoring 13 goals and racking up five assists in 33 appearances in all competitions.
Sancho’s contract with Manchester United expires in the summer of 2026, although the Red Devils have the option to extend it for a further year.
But judging from Ten Hag’s recent claim that the club had issues with the winger before his arrival, it’s likely that his future lies away from Old Trafford.
He said: “He’s now at Dortmund. So after he was signed, one year before [I was here], and there were issues.
