Manchester United have conceded that they will have 'no choice' but to accept a fee of less than £25million from Juventus for Jadon Sancho.

The Italian heavyweights have reportedly declined to meet United's asking price, prompting a re-think of their valuation. Sancho is not in the plans of United's manager Ruben Amorim and is looking for a new club during the transfer window.

United had aimed to offload the winger for £25m after acquiring him for £73m in 2021. However, the ex-Borussia Dortmund player is in the final year of his contract and spent the previous season on loan at Chelsea.

The Blues chose to pay a £5m penalty to avoid making the England international's move permanent this summer.

Consequently, Sancho has returned to Old Trafford but is training separately from United's first team. The 25-year-old joins Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia in being instructed to report for training, but only from 5pm - after Amorim's squad have finished their daily preparations.

With just over six weeks left of the transfer window, it seems the club have accepted that they will need to adjust their demands to facilitate Sancho's departure. Football Italia reports that the chiefs at Old Trafford have ultimately acknowledged they will not receive the fee they had hoped for and must negotiate a lower amount.

Sancho is reportedly eager to join Juventus and is willing to wait for Igor Tudor's team to finalise a deal. The Turin side have consequently intensified their negotiations with United.

It is reported that Sancho is prepared to accept a pay cut, agreeing to an €8m-a-year (£7m) deal - significantly less than his current weekly wage.

Juventus, on the other hand, are reportedly ready to offer players to United in order to reach an agreement. Dusan Vlahovic is one of those available, with the Serbian striker also in the last year of his contract.

United have previously shown interest in the forward, who was heavily linked with Arsenal before his move to Turin. Now, the 25-year-old appears set to depart.
