Manchester United are hoping to find a buyer for Jadon Sancho this summer but one new suitor may already be moving on.
Manchester United’s focus in the early stages of this transfer window is on attacking reinforcements.
Matheus Cunha has joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers, handing Ruben Amorim an immediate boost in one of the number 10 roles.
United fans are looking to see more attacking additions arrive this summer, but Amorim is also looking to offload at least four attackers.
Alejandro Garnacho has been told to leave United, while recently loaned-out trio Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho are primed to move on.
Napoli have shown an interest in Sancho this week, but they may already be moving on from the United wide man.

Napoli move for Manchester United target over Jadon Sancho
Sancho is back with United this summer after the end of his Chelsea loan spell.
Chelsea have sent Sancho back to Old Trafford, paying £5million to essentially nullify a permanent obligation.
More United News
After loans to Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, United now want to sell Sancho, and a move to Italy has been rumoured.
Reports earlier this week highlighted that Napoli were making a move to sign Sancho as their new left-sided winger.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joined Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli in January, and the Serie A champions are seeking a replacement.
Sancho is on their radar, though his hefty wages mean a move to Naples looks rather unlikely.
Fabrizio Romano now reports that Napoli are focusing on a different winger as they make a move for Bologna’s Dan Ndoye.
Romano claims Napoli are now ‘progressing’ in talks to sign Ndoye, with Antonio Conte approving a move for the Swiss wide man.
Sancho is still on the radar, but the money involved means Napoli are looking elsewhere, with Ndoye now seemingly their preferred target.
Personal terms are ‘almost agreed’ for Ndoye, who bagged eight goals and four assists in Serie A last season, meaning another potential suitor for Sancho may fade away.

Ineos are big fans of Dan Ndoye
Not only will Ineos be frustrated that Napoli appear to be moving on from Sancho, but they may also feel a little disappointed to see Ndoye heading off the market.
Ndoye emerged in the ranks with Ineos-owned Lausanne-Sport before moving to Nice, another Ineos club, in 2020.
The move to France didn’t really work out for Ndoye, but Ineos didn’t end their interest in the winger.
United were interested in signing Ndoye last summer as he caught the eye for Switzerland at Euro 2024.
Ndoye was again linked with United in April, but Napoli are now pushing to win the race and ensure that United don’t hijack their move.
