Manchester United have no plans to keep Jadon Sancho, giving Aston Villa the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer. The England international arrived at Villa Park last summer on a loan deal.

Sancho's contract at United expires at the end of June, meaning he will be a free agent once this campaign comes to an end. Along with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, Sancho ended up in the so-called 'Bomb Squad' under Ruben Amorim, before Unai Emery offered him an opportunity at Villa.

So far, he is yet to maintain a place in the Spaniard's starting eleven, but his performances have improved from where they were earlier in the campaign. He joined the Villans not long after his team-mate and ex-Villa loanee Marcus Rashford was loaned to Barcelona, who have an option to sign him permanently for £26m.
