Reports have claimed that Jadon Sancho is now convinced about the idea of leaving Manchester United in January.

According to the Daily Star, the winger wants out just weeks after he was linked with a move to join Chelsea this summer.

Sancho has endured a rough start to the season to stay the least. He was nowhere to be seen in the United squad that took on Arsenal in their last Premier League game before the international break.

After the match, he came in to criticism from his manager, Erik ten Hag, for his effort levels the week leading up to the game and therefore he was not involved.

This didn’t go down too well with the player. He quickly came out to defend himself, causing a large rift now between both parties.

It remains unknown whether he will ever break his way back into the United attack, or if his time is up at Old Trafford.

In truth, it has not been an entirely successful spell at the club in general ever since he made his £73m move.

It was claimed in the last few days of the transfer window that Chelsea were considering a move to sign the England international, as they sought final reinforcements to their attack.

However, they elected to look to the other side of Manchester and bring in youngster Cole Palmer instead for the same price United wanted for Sancho.

With this signing, it may signal the end of their potential interest in the former Borussia Dortmund man.

However, the fact reports are now stating that he could force his way out in the upcoming transfer window, and this will of course keep them on standby if a good deal is available.
