Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is looking to be leaving Old Trafford this summer for the third and final time after back-to-back loan spells.
After returning to United last summer from a brief spell with former club Borussia Dortmund, Sancho ended up on a season-long loan with Chelsea, helping them with the UEFA Conference League and qualify for the Champions League through the Premier League.
Despite having a £25 million obligation to buy the former England international, Chelsea opting instead for the £5 million penalty fee to send him back to Old Trafford.
The main reason for the return of Sancho came down to his wages, with the two parties unable to come to an agreement.

Now, Italian giants Juventus have stepped into the fold, pushing to sign the winger, with recent reports claiming a move is imminent.
Recently several reports have been claiming that Juve and United are closing in on a move, with the club-to-club agreement in place and personal terms with Sancho agreed despite a prior £1.7 million difference in salary expectations.
However, Fabrizio Romano has now taken to his YouTube channel to explain this is not the case.
Romano explains that despite several reports from Italy, there have in fact been no official offers from Juve to Manchester United for Jadon Sancho.
As such it looks that United will still have to wait for their first major sale of the summer, which needs to come soon to support the club’s ongoing transfer movements.
With limited funds at Amorim’s disposal, the club need to make sales to not only free up capacity in the squad, but to generate much-needed funds to support other new signings that are vital for Amorim to turn the club around.
