Juventus are reportedly weighing up a loan move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho in January.
The 23-year-old has been banished from first-team activities since his public feud with Erik ten Hag in September. There was a disagreement over the player dropping standards in training but Sancho has yet to apologise to the manager.
As a result, Sancho has been heavily linked with a January exit. It had previously been reported that Borussia Dortmund were open to offering their former winger a route back to the Bundesliga.
However, according to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, a return to Borussia Dortmund is now unlikely.

Sancho plans to restart his career away from United in the winter and Juventus are in pole position to land his signature. The Serie A giants want to sign the England international on loan before proposing a potential permanent contract.
The update also suggests that a move to Barcelona ā like BVB ā is unlikely. It also means that the 23-year-old could still have a chance to salvage his career at a big club, though he needs to grow up and learn a thing or two about professionalism first.
Itās a shame but Sancho looks set to leave United under a grey cloud.
