Jadon Sancho is reportedly set to leave Manchester United during the January transfer window.

The former Borussia Dortmund star took to social media to call out the United boss after he dropped him from the team that faced Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Sancho's actions saw him banished from first-team training, with Sportbible claiming he was exiled for refusing to apologise to the manager.

Could Sancho leave Man United?

Reports now claim that there is every chance the England international could depart Old Trafford during the upcoming transfer window.

This is according to Sky Sports Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg, who has claimed that Sancho could leave on loan.

A reunion with Dortmund has been described as 'very unlikely', with the Man United star understood to be keen on playing regularly.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are also said to be huge admirers of the embattled United forward.

The development comes at a time when the Red Devils are also said to be exploring the possibility of signing a replacement for Sancho.

Inside Sancho's troubled Man United career

Earlier, Sports Brief delved into Sancho's troubled spell with Manchester United since he joined them from Dortmund.

When Manchester United beat a myriad other clubs to Sancho's signature in 2021, it looked like a real-time coup, so much so that the 85 million euros paid to Borussia Dortmund looked like a proper investment.

For a young English star who had lit up the Bundesliga with mesmerizing performances, any fee was worth it. Or so it was thought.

Three years later and this expensive investment is yet to yield results. From irregular game time to lacklustre performances to fitness issues, Sancho is yet to deliver.
