Fabrizio Romano reveals transfer update on Man Utd star Jadon Sancho

Manchester United star Jadon Sancho is '99% likely to leave' in the next transfer window, according to one football expert.

Sancho has been frozen out at Old Trafford due to a disagreement with manager Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag publicly called out Sancho for his lack of work ethic in training, and the winger hit back on social media, saying he was tired of being 'made a scapegoat' for team performances. Ten Hag reacted by banishing the winger from his squad, and while the two have met since, the Dutchman is unwilling to build a bridge unless he receives an apology.

And now a fresh update has been offered, with Borussia Dortmund keen.

Fabrizio Romano wrote in his Caught Offside column: "But for the moment there is no plan for Antony and Man United to part ways in January.

“That’s not the case with Jadon Sancho, however, who I would say is looking 99% likely to leave United this January. Still, it will depend on many factors, despite links with Borussia Dortmund, because I think clubs will wait before deciding what to do during the January window – Dortmund, for example, will have to see where they are in the Champions League, or if they drop to the Europa League, or even out of Europe altogether.

“This is the case for a lot of clubs, so that’s why there are no talks now, but for Sancho the situation at Manchester United is complicated, for sure. The only way this could change is if Sancho decides to apologise in a very special way to Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff, but it’s almost two months now and nothing has changed, so the feeling of those close to the player is that he will leave Old Trafford in January."
