Aston Villa are exploring a move for Manchester United’s out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho.
The 25-year-old turned down a move to Italian side Roma earlier in the window while there had also been interest from Juventus.
Sancho has spent the past 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea but neither club made the deal permanent.
Chelsea paid a £5m penalty to United for reneging on an obligation to sign the England attacker.
Sancho joined United for £73m four years ago but last played for the club in August 2024 in the Community Shield.
Any deal for Sancho will not be connected to United’s interest in Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
United sources are stressing they will not sign both Martinez and Royal Antwerp keeper Senne Lammens, who they have also discussed.
There is currently no clarity around which player, if either, they will choose to bolster their goalkeeping ranks.
