Manchester United are prepared to take a huge loss on Jadon Sancho.
That's according to one report which says that the Red Devils are looking to raise money this summer to bolster their transfer funds, with the England international one of the highest profile players who have been deemed surplus to requirements by Erik ten Hag.
The 23-year-old moved to Manchester United for £73 million in 2021, according to the BBC, but has since failed to light up the Premier League – or indeed force himself into Ten Hag's plans.

Now, the Mail are reporting that Sancho is among 13 players who United are putting up for sale in order to pay for new arrivals. The winger is available for just £45m.
According to journalist Chris Wheeler, Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are both available for £40m, Anthony Martial for £25m, with Dean Henderson, Donny van de Beek and Fred all available for £20m.
Sancho started 21 games under Ten Hag in the Premier League last season, playing a mixture of left-wing and right-wing. He scored just six goals and assisted three.
Brazilian wide man Antony was brought in for around £85m last summer from Ten Hag's former side Ajax, becoming the club's first-choice right-winger. Marcus Rashford, meanwhile has held the left-wing position, with Sancho dropping out of the England squad as a result.
