According to reports in France, Paris Saint-Germain have an agreement in principle with Jadon Sancho.

Sports Zone has claimed the England international has a plan in place to sign for the Ligue 1 champions but they must meet Manchester United’s asking price.

It has also been reported that Nordi Mukiele, Manuel Ugarte and Milan Skriniar have been mooted as possible swap options for United.

The Express claims United could target one of the three as leverage in a swap deal for Sancho, who has been reintegrated to the squad following a public spat with Erik ten Hag last September.

Mukiele, 26, plays at right-back and Ugarte has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford all summer. Skriniar is another option at centre-back.

This is an opportunity to make money off Sancho and not having to pay a portion of his wages is too good to pass up. Most clubs will be unwilling to match his salary at United but the player must accept this to move on.

It would be the best of both worlds for United and Sancho.
