Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly set for talks on Jadon Sancho's future.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, and Sancho have fallen out with the England international having not played for United since September.
In January, he re-joined formed club Dortmund, where he used to play between 2017 and 2021. In his first game back, he helped create a goal against Darmstadt.
According to HITC, the big bosses at United have decided they want to sell Sancho. But Dortmund would rather have him on loan for another season with the option to buy him at the end of 2024/25. United have told Sancho and his team that they would prefer to sell him in the summer, which is what Sancho wants too.

Sancho could return to United if Dortmund decide not to pay the permanent transfer fee. The Reds are pushing for a loan with an obligation to buy at a minimum if they can't convince the German team into a straightforward deal.
The two teams will try to find a middle ground when they discuss Sancho's future in the next few weeks. United spent a whopping £73million on the winger back in 2021.
Sancho scored 50 goals in 137 games for Dortmund, but only managed 12 goals in 82 matches for the Reds. Despite being seen as a future international star, Sancho hasn't played for England since 2021, and it seems unlikely he'll be picked for Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad.
After assisting a goal in his second debut for BVB, Sancho has gone seven games without contributing to a goal. Dortmund are now a huge 20 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
