by Jadon Sancho could receive an escape road from Manchester United by Jose Mourinho after Fenerbahce wondered on the signature.
United assesses the options to unload his signature of 73 million pounds Sterling, the 25 -year -old player made available for the transfer this summer.

The Turkish giants, who finished second in Super Lig last season, named Devin Özek as sports director. The former manager of Bayer Leverkusen is currently considering premier League objectives, including Sancho.
The loan from Sancho to Chelsea ended earlier in summer and the London Club paid a penalty clause of 5 million pounds sterling because the obligation to make the agreement permanent was not honored. Fenerbahce discussed Sancho as a signature, but an agreement would imply negotiations as to whether the agreement is permanent or a loan. United should pay a percentage of Sancho wages – worth more than £ 200,000 per week – in a loan, although the club would prefer a permanent sale this summer.
Ruben Amorim has a number of players who were not part of the team of the first team last season who are still in books, including Marcus Rashford. Alejandro Garnacho is also authorized to leave.
Sancho was also returned in the short term to Borussia Dortmund the previous season, where he reached the Champions League final. He arrived in Old Trafford in 2021, after the fate of Mourinho as manager at United. Mourinho will seek to add to his team to get closer to the Turkish champions Galatasaray, who finished 11 points in front of them in the title race.

Meanwhile, the pursuit of Monaco by André Onana struck a major stumbling block over personal terms for the united goalkeeper.

The Ligue 1 club preselected Onana as summer signature but resign to its salary and its bonus package being out of their reach for the moment. This means that an agreement seems extremely improbable at this stage of the window.
Onana endured a fluctuating form during her two seasons at Old Trafford and is determined to prove her in Amorim next season. He did not prevent clubs from watching the 29 -year -old and Monaco would have made questions.
Onana is among people under study as goalkeeper, but even with her unchanged salary – because United has not returned to the Champions League, there is no 25% increase – it would always be huge for a Ligue 1 team.

Amorim sometimes dropped Onana last season, with a series of very publicized errors mixed with a few shooting stops. After omitting Onana in April, Amorim was asked about the purchase of another goalkeeper this summer.
“We have to improve each position on the field, the goalkeeper is the same,” said Amorim. “We can work with André. André Onana has already proven that he was a high -level player with Inter. Altay [Bayindir] The same with Fenerbahce. We will do this assessment for any position in the team. »»
Analysis: the key team issues Ruben Amorim
Dilemma
Onana was incoherent under Amorim and her back-up did not really push him. Bayindir was brought for the last match of the season and his escape should have submitted the victory of Aston Villa and a place in the Champions League. It was only an early whistle of referee Thomas Bramall who saved him from Var reversing a decision.

Tom Heaton is a reliable and excellent n ° 3 in the team, but United could do with a goalkeeper to push Onana and provide real competition for jersey n ° 1.
Forward unloading
It is not a secret where Rashford is in the hierarchical order. Like him, Garnacho can leave the club, which he underlined this week by wearing an Aston Villa shirt with the name of Rashford on the back. The two were frozen by Amorim, but finding good -value agreements for them is not simple. Their salary would be a huge expense for a club to face. Antony played Real Betis well last season, but only in Spain left on another loan, rather than in a permanent agreement.
Attackers search
Rasmus Hojlund seemed to be short of confidence last season and Amorim must refresh his attack. United was in competition for Liam Delap, but missed Chelsea for the attacker under 21 of England. Matheus Cunha can play as a central attack, but tends to operate more deeply than a n ° 9. Bryan Mbeumo is also a large striker, with a United hoping to make him their second summer signature.
Legs in the midfield
While Casemiro experienced a resurgence at the end of the season, United is always easily exceeded in the midfield. They need legs in this department. It is strange to see how Kobbie Mainoo does not play – Amorim must find an effective position for the player who was a Euro 2024 starter with England.
