Manchester United will look to sell winger Jadon Sancho this summer, and a move to Juventus could be a possibility.
Ruben Amorim wants to shake up his attacking options at Manchester United this summer, and exciting names are in the mix.
Matheus Cunha has already joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers, having been earmarked to play as a number 10 at Old Trafford.
United are working on signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, though there is work to do on that front.
Amorim will also want another striker, but completing all of this business will require some departures.
Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony are all on the market this summer, as is Jadon Sancho.

Juventus explore Jadon Sancho exchange
Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but is now back with United as pre-season looms.
Chelsea have sent Sancho back to Old Trafford, having chosen to pay a £5million penalty fee rather than sign the winger permanently.

Sancho scored in the Europa Conference League final, but Chelsea still decided not to sign him on a full-time basis.
Napoli were interested in Sancho but appear to be moving on to other targets, with an Italian rival now in the mix.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that Juventus want to sign Sancho, having first targeted him in 2024.
Sancho is believed to be interested in a move to Turin, and the Serie A giants have made contact with United over a potential move.
Sancho’s agents are even thought to have remained in dialogue with Juve since that original interest last year.
United would love to offload Sancho one way or another, but Juve may need to get a little creative in order to secure a deal.
It’s suggested that Juve will explore sending either Douglas Luiz or Dusan Vlahovic to United in an exchange for Sancho.
Talks over a new deal for Vlahovic are going nowhere, and the striker is seemingly available in a potential exchange.
Juventus previously paid £62million for Vlahovic in 2022, as noted by the Daily Mail.
Midfielder Luiz only joined Juve from Aston Villa last summer, but struggled to nail down a regular place in their starting XI.
Manchester United must consider Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz
United are desperate to move Sancho on, and a swap deal could become rather enticing.
Amorim is in the market for a new striker, but the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike will be very expensive.
Vlahovic has hit 98 goals across the last five seasons and still has plenty of untapped potential at just 25.
The Serbian may not be quite as athletically gifted as Gyokeres or Ekitike, but he has proven himself as a fine finisher.
Vlahovic is certainly worth considering if United are priced out of other striking targets, though Luiz may be even more attractive.
United want midfield options, and Luiz’s previous Premier League brilliance with Aston Villa makes him a potentially ideal target.
Luiz has shown his quality in a holding role as well as when attacking the box from deep, meaning he can be a key man in Amorim’s midfield while operating in different roles.
Italian reports suggested that United wanted to sign Luiz in January, but Juventus wouldn’t sanction a deal.
Now ready to let the Brazilian go, Luiz for Sancho is the kind of deal that could tempt United, potentially solving two problems in one fell swoop.
