Roma have made an offer worth in the region of £20million for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho.
The 25-year-old has failed to live up to expectations since making his hotly anticipated £73m switch from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford in 2021.
Sancho has made just 83 appearances and scored 12 goals since making the move to United, who are hoping to get him off the books this summer.

There have been recent whispers of a move to Serie A and it is understood Roma have made a bid to sign the England international, whose contract runs until next summer with an option for a further year.
Sancho last appeared for United in the Community Shield last season, when his penalty was saved in the shoot-out loss to his former club Manchester City.
The winger had returned having ended the 2023-24 campaign on loan back at Dortmund after being frozen out for claiming on social media that he had been made a “scapegoat”.
Those comments in September 2023 were in response to then United manager Erik ten Hag saying he had not reached the “level” required to be involved in their squad at Arsenal.
Sancho returned for last year’s pre-season at United but went on to join Chelsea on a season-long loan, only for the west London outfit to pay £5m to get out of their deal to make the move permanent for £25m.

The Manchester City youth graduate does not have a number at United and is one of a quintet of players that have did not train with Ruben Amorim’s side during pre-season as they seek a move elsewhere.
Homegrown forward Marcus Rashford was among them and last month sealed a season-long switch to Barcelona with the option to make the move permanent.
United want £50m for Chelsea target Alejandro Garnacho, while exits have also yet to be secured for Antony and Tyrell Malacia following loans at Real Betis and PSV respectively.
