Jadon Sancho offered Man United escape route as two new clubs enter race to sign Red Devils outcast
Two new clubs are reportedly willing to offer Jadon Sancho an exit route from Manchester United with the winger remaining frozen out at the club.
Samcho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have been training away from the first-team group since reporting for pre-season last month and were left off the tour of the US.
Marcus Rashford was the fifth member of the group of outcasts but has since joined Barcelona on loan for the season.
Sancho has been in talks with Borussia Dortmund and Juventus this summer, but a move has yet to come to fruition. The 25-year-old’s future has been uncertain after Chelsea opted to pay a £5million fee to avoid making the winger’s loan move to the club permanent for £25m.
Recent reports have claimed Dortmund have reservations over signing Sancho for a third time, while Juventus’ pursuit has been delayed as the Serie A giants push for sales first.
Two new clubs have reportedly now come forward, with Roma and Besiktas said to have entered the race to sign Sancho.

Football Italia reported that Roma have been in discussions with Manchester United to determine the conditions required for a move.
It is claimed new Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini is a keen admirer of Sancho, but it remains unclear whether he would make the move.
Sancho could also be offered the opportunity to reunite with his former Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who in charge of the Red Devils when he joined the club for £73m from Dortmund in 2021.
Solskjaer is now in charge of Turkish giants Besiktas, with the club’s president Serdal Adali confirming their interest in the England international.
Adali admitted he agreed with fans who wanted to bring Sancho to the club, but questioned whether a deal could be achieved without the lure of Champions League football.
‘Just as much as the community wants him, I want him too,’ Adali told Turkiye Today.
‘What matters is not only our desire, but also if the player wants to come to Turkey.
‘We have a budget, and we will do our best to bring him here.’

‘Players like Jadon Sancho usually prefer clubs playing in the Champions League.
‘Whether it happens today or not, it is hard to say. If it is possible, we will get him. Besiktas fans can rest assured.’
With the 25-year-old now in the final 11 months of his contract, and his £275,000-a-week wages a significant stumbling block, United may have to consider another loan deal.
As well as Juventus and Roma, last season’s Champions League runners-up Inter Milan are said to hold an interest.
The club are said to view Sancho as an alternative to Ademola Lookman, should they be unable to convince Atalanta to sell the forward.
