Manchester United have been shaking up their squad over the last few weeks and still have much work to do in the next month or so.
United career
One player who has left Old Trafford is winger Jadon Sancho.
The 26-year-old played just 83 times for Manchester United since signing in 2021.
Sancho fell out with Erik ten Hag in 2023 and joined Borussia Dortmund on loan for the rest of the season.
The winger then joined Chelsea on a temporary deal for the 2024–2025 season, and subsequently spent last season at Aston Villa before his contract expired and he left Manchester United on a free transfer last month.
Next move
The winger has been linked to numerous clubs such as his old team in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund.
Spanish club Atletico Madrid have also been said to be interested in the England international.
Other clubs like Fiorentina are also said to be in the mix, but there have been reports that Tottenham Hotspur may be keen to keep him in England.
Brentford interest
Interestingly, Sport Boom report that another English team may be keen on landing Sancho.
They state that, “Brentford are exploring a shock move for free agent Jadon Sancho.” The report also adds, “the Bees have made initial enquiries, but wage demands remain the biggest hurdle.”
Sancho has also received an offer from Qatari side Al-Rayyan, according to the same information.

The winger played 39 times for Aston Villa last season, scoring one goal in the Europa League, which the Villans would go on to win.
The Peoples Person Reliability Assessment
Overall credibility: 3/10
Why?
✅ Sancho would well consider a move to remain in England and live in London.
⚠️ No official bid reported
⚠️ The source is not backed up by others
⚠️ The source is not the strongest when it comes to Man United transfers
⚠️ It is unclear Sancho would be keen to add a player with his history of attitude problems
TPP view
Jadon Sancho will definitely need to find a new club this summer and staying in England would be attractive. Nonetheless, suggestions that it will be Brentford are far from certain for numerous reasons mentioned above.
