According to British media reports, although Ruben Amorim publicly stated that Sancho, Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia could stay, they have actually been informed to leave the first team locker room and move to the U21 locker room.
These four players are the ones who have not yet left Manchester United's so-called "Five Mice." Originally, Rashford was included, but the 27-year-old England winger has successfully been loaned to Barcelona for free, has played two matches, and is back on track, even reuniting with his youth training friend Lingard for a handshake in a warm-up match. However, the remaining four can only wait in Carrington for their fate to be revealed.
Previously, Sancho, Garnacho, Antony, and Malacia were banned from entering Carrington during first team training and had to wait until their teammates left before they could practice. However, recently the first team went to the United States for training, so the four outcasts could use the first team facilities normally.
However, Amorim and his team are about to return, and after the final match against Everton on Sunday, they will return to Carrington. Therefore, the club has notified the aforementioned four players that they need to pack their belongings, leave the first team locker room, and move to the U21 locker room.
These players naturally hope to complete transfers in the last four weeks of the transfer window, with the most tumultuous experience belonging to 25-year-old England winger Sancho. He has had an agreement with Juventus for some time but has not yet moved to the next stage.
It is reported that Juventus must sell several players in order to formally make an offer to Manchester United. Juventus director Damiano Comolli, when interviewed by Italian "Football Market," was asked about the possibility of signing Sancho this summer and stated, "Our club is very attractive, and many agents and players are calling me. After all, we are Juventus, and we want to return to the path of victory. Ensuring the permanent transfer of Consensao is a clear and firm decision because he can play in two positions. We have the two best wingers in the world, and Nico (Gonzalez) is also an excellent player. But if someone leaves, we will consider Sancho."
The British "Daily Mirror" reports that Juventus has delayed making an offer to Manchester United mainly because they want to sell three players first, including Nico Gonzalez mentioned by Comolli, as well as striker Dusan Vlahovic and wing-back Timothy Weah. Juventus has not yet determined when they can complete the clearance, but Sancho is becoming increasingly impatient. Other teams are also considering him, with his former club Dortmund believed to be interested.
German "Bild" reports that Sancho has expressed to Dortmund's general manager Lars Ricken and sporting director Sebastian Kehl that he is willing to significantly reduce his salary to return to his old club. He is prepared to cut his annual salary by 50% in order to secure a move back to Dortmund. It is said that if Dortmund truly wants to sign him for the third time, Sancho will definitely agree to join. He hopes to leave Manchester United as soon as possible and regain his freedom like Rashford.
After the fallout between Manchester United and Ten Hag, Sancho was loaned back to Dortmund, where he had a successful second half of the 2023/24 season, scoring three goals and leading the team to the Champions League final. Last season, during his loan at Chelsea, he scored in the UEFA Conference League final and won the title. Therefore, many believe that as long as Sancho maintains a positive attitude, he can perform well. However, the behavior of this England player has always been controversial, which is one of the reasons for Juventus's hesitation.
As for Manchester United, whether it's Juventus or Dortmund looking to acquire Sancho, the club does not mind; as long as someone offers £15 million in transfer fees, it will be accepted.
