JADON SANCHO has been handed a career lifeline to end his Manchester United hell, according to reports.
Champions League giants Barcelona are considering a summer move for the winger – if the Red Devils accept a cut-price deal.
Sancho, 23, is facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford after falling out with Erik ten Hag.
The pair clashed after United’s boss claimed Sancho’s training performances were not up to standard when he dropped him for the defeat to Arsenal.
The England international subsequently refuted his manager’s claim, effectively accusing him of lying, and said he’d been made a “scapegoat”.
The 23-year-old has since been banished from first-team training, after refusing to apologise.
But Sancho could now be thrown a lifeline by Barca.
According to SPORT, the La Liga champions appreciate Sancho’s quality, but financial constraints mean United will face a significant loss.
Despite not being at his best, Sancho’s 86 goals and 81 assistances for Dortmund show his quality in European football.
United are trying to find a solution so as not to lose the money invested in his £73m signing.
The Red Devils know they will end up taking a financial hit, but he is so far out of the picture that it now looks the only option.
A loan deal might be the only viable route for Sancho to revalue himself to potential suitors.
Sancho would have to reduce his astonishing £350,000-per-week salary significantly to be able to play at the Camp Nou.
Juventus are also said to only be interested in a six-month loan move in the January window.
They hope United will agree to paying half of Sancho’s wages if he goes, knowing the Reds are keen to put him in the shop window.
