Italian giants submit £20m bid to sign Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho: Fabrizio Romano

AS Roma have offered Manchester United £20m for Jadon Sancho, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano. The report adds that the Serie A giants are also open to a loan deal with a purchase option and are already in touch with the player's entourage.

Sancho is a forgotten man at Old Trafford following a number of off-field issues. The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Chelsea, who had an obligation to sign him permanently this summer.

Sancho's contract with Manchester United expires at the end of this season, but the club have the option of an additional year. Recent reports have suggested that Juventus are interested in his signature, and Roma have now entered the race.

Sancho arrived at Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021 as one of the finest young players in the world. However, he has failed to live up to expectations at Manchester United, registering just 12 goals and six assists from 83 games across competitions.
