Manchester United are considering a shock move for Anwar El Ghazi amid uncertainty over Antony and Jadon Sancho
Man United are weighing up a move to sign Dutch winger Anwar El Ghazi as a free agent.
El Ghazi left PSV Eindhoven by mutual consent last week and would be able to join United outside the transfer window.
It is understood that El Ghazi also has offers from Saudi Arabia, but United could give him the opportunity to make a Premier League return.
Manager Erik ten Hag has a major problem on the right wing after Antony was placed on leave until further notice following allegations that he attacked three women, and Sancho’s future at Old Trafford was plunged into doubt after he had a public falling-out with his manager.
The fact that United are considering a shock move for El Ghazi underlines just how seriously they are taking the situation with Antony and Sancho who cost a combined total of £158million.
Borussia Dortmund are looking to sign Jadon Sancho back from Manchester United this winter
Borussia Dortmund are planning to offer Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho a career lifeline in the January transfer window amid his ongoing spat with Erik ten Hag.
Sancho, 23, enjoyed a prolific four-year stint with the Bundesliga giants before moving to Old Trafford in a £73million deal in the summer of 2021, however, he has been unable to emulate his dazzling displays for Dortmund in the Premier League.
Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq, who are managed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, wanted to sign Sancho before their domestic transfer window closed on Thursday, but the Red Devils ruled out a loan. His absence from the matchday squad against Arsenal raised eyebrows, despite the former Borussia Dortmund star failing to impress so far this season.

Marco Verratti is set to sign for Qatar Star League side Al-Arabi after a verbal agreement has been reached with the player.
PSG agreed on €45m fee 10 days ago, and the deal is done.
It is understood that he will travel to Doha in the next 24 hours to complete his medical and seal the move.
Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales announced on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ that he has handed in his resignation
Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales has said that he has resigned over the kissing incident that sparked widespread controversy following Spain’s victory in the Women’s World Cup.
“I cannot continue my work,” Rubiales said on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’.
In a statement, Rubiales confirmed he had handed in his resignation to Pedro Rocha, the Spanish federation’s acting president.
“After the quick suspension carried out by FIFA, plus the rest of open proceedings against me, it is evident that I will not be able to return to my position,” the statement read”.
“Insisting on waiting and holding on is not going to contribute to anything positive, neither to the federation nor to Spanish football.”
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also criticised Rubiales for his actions and subsequent apology, saying it “shows that in our country there’s a long way to go in terms of equality and respect between men and women”.
Sanchez added: “What we saw was an unacceptable gesture. I think the apology Mr Rubiales has given wasn’t sufficient, I’d say it wasn’t adequate.”
