Aston Villa are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, as they prepare for the potential departure of fellow United loanee Marcus Rashford, according to Teamtalk.
Sancho, who recently returned to Old Trafford after a season-long loan at Chelsea, is not part of new manager Ruben Amorim’s plans, prompting United to seek a transfer for the 25-year-old.
Chelsea had the option to make Sancho’s move permanent for £25 million but opted against it after failing to agree on personal terms with the player.
Instead, the Blues paid a £5 million penalty to Man United, allowing Sancho to return to his parent club.
Aston Villa need more options in attack this summer
Villa’s interest in Sancho arises as they assess their attacking options, particularly on the left flank.
Rashford, who joined Villa on loan in January, has been linked with a move to Barcelona, making his stay at Villa Park uncertain.
Unai Emery is ready to add new options to his attack this summer and he believes that the United winger could be available in a bargain move.
However, Sancho’s high wages, reportedly around £300,000 per week, could pose a challenge for Villa and other interested clubs.
