Manchester United Face ‘Same Problem’ If PSG Target Remains Beyond Summer Window

Last week, it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain is interested in signing winger Jadon Sancho to bolster their attack for the upcoming season. Additionally, one pundit thinks that Manchester United should consider moving on from the player.

This past weekend, Sports Zone reported that Sancho and PSG have come to a preliminary agreement on personal terms. However, the English winger isn’t their main target, especially since Manchester United is asking for €60 million for him.

Whether the Parisians move for the player or not, one pundit believes that the Red Devils must sell Sancho before the summer transfer window closes. On Wednesday, talkSPORT’s Alan Pardew weighed in on the 24-year-old’s future at Old Trafford.

“It’s a big problem because they ostracised each other,” Pardew said. “That was obvious. He went on his social media, and he hasn’t really apologized for that. Went to Dortmund, done brilliant. But he plays on the right-hand side of midfield for Dortmund, exactly where [Marcus] Rashford, you think, ‘Oh, he’s never going to get a game over there because of the other boy that they play on that side.’

“I think we’re going to come back to exactly the same problem, the manager and Sancho at some point after about, I don’t know, first 10 games. If he’s still there, he ain’t going to start. ‘Why am I starting?’ And then there’s going to be friction again, and then there’ll be another bust-up. I can’t see that resolving itself, unfortunately.”

Sancho spent the second half of the 2023-24 season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he played a key role in helping the team reach the UEFA Champions League final.

Last season, the English winger played 24 matches for both Manchester United and Dortmund, scoring three goals and getting three assists.
