Football rumours: Manchester United look to recoup chunk of Jadon Sancho fee
What the papers say
Manchester United will ask for at least three quarters of the £75million they paid for Jadon Sancho if Borussia Dortmund look to re-sign him after his current loan spell, reports The Sun. The 24-year-old would need to take a cut in his £275,000-a-week wages to remain in the Bundesliga.
United manager Erik ten Hag is not short of suitors if his time at Old Trafford ends. The Daily Mirror reports the 54-year-old is being tracked by Bayern Munich and Ajax.
The future of Arsenal’s on-loan goalkeeper David Raya remains uncertain, according to the Daily Express. The Spain international, 28, says he has had no talks about making his stay at the Emirates from Brentford permanent.
A striker and a defensive midfielder are top of Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou’s target list in the summer, reports the Daily Mirror. The Australian is reportedly planning a clearout of his squad ahead of next season.
