Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is desperate to boost his transfer budget ahead of jetting off to the United States for a pre-season tour and remains hopeful that Juventus will lodge a formal offer for Old Trafford outcast Jadon Sancho in the coming days, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
The Red Devils have already splashed the cash since the summer window opened for business, with Brazilian playmaker Matheus Cunha completing a £62.5million switch from Premier League counterparts Wolverhampton Wanderers, but there is a desire to show further ambition in the market.
Although Sancho has been on Manchester United's books since sealing a £73million move from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021, his struggles to win over doubters have resulted in Amorim pinpointing him as a member of the squad he is keen to offload in an attempt to improve the funds available for more reinforcements.

Jadon Sancho in action for Chelsea
Manchester United want European giants Juventus to make a bid for Sancho this week, according to GMS sources, as there is determination to oversee a significant sale before travelling to the United States to face domestic rivals West Ham United, Bournemouth and Everton ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The 23-cap England international is among the Red Devils' highest earners, thanks to being on a contract which allows him to pocket up to £350,000-per-week when bonuses are triggered, resulting in influential figures behind the scenes being desperate to get him off the Old Trafford wage bill.
GMS sources have been informed that Manchester United are aware of Juventus' interest in Sancho, who won the UEFA Conference League during a productive loan spell with Chelsea during the 2024/25 campaign, and they are keen for the Serie A heavyweights to up the ante by heading to the negotiating table with an opening proposal.

The 25-year-old winger is not at the forefront of Amorim's plans, despite being described as 'special' by Enzo Maresca during his time at Stamford Bridge, and the Red Devils are prepared to listen to offers as his departure would facilitate further incomings ahead of the transfer window slamming shut on September 1.
Manchester United are eager for Juventus to enter formal discussions, GMS sources have learned, and their desperation to sell Sancho means they would even entertain a bid which falls below their current demands as it would result in him heading through the exit door before stepping up their preparations for next term.

Preference remains for academy graduate to leave permanently

GMS sources have been told that Sancho is not the only big-name member of the squad who is increasingly likely to embark on a fresh challenge as Barcelona are still circling for Marcus Rashford, but the reigning La Liga champions will continue insisting on negotiating a loan deal as they seek to discover whether Manchester United will cave in.
Although the Red Devils' preference is to sanction a permanent move after Aston Villa opted against taking advantage of a £40million option to buy their academy graduate at the end of his temporary spell in the Midlands, they have been unable to identify an interested party willing to match his price tag at this stage.
Manchester United remain optimistic of offloading Antony before the Premier League campaign gets underway with a clash against Arsenal on August 17, GMS sources understand, while they are also working behind the scenes to find a buyer for the out-of-favour Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.
