Manchester United have been considering a move for Barcelona winger, Raphinha, and have offered Jadon Sancho in exchange for the Brazilian international in the upcoming January transfer window.
However, according to reports in Spain, Barcelona have ruled out the idea of signing Sancho as the United winger is not in their plans.
Jadon Sancho was dropped from the United squad by Erik Ten Hag in September and was subsequently publicly criticised by the manager after their 3-1 loss to Arsenal. Sancho then fired back an immediate response to Ten Hag on social media, accusing the United manager of making him a 'scapegoat' for the team's defeat.
The £73 million signing from Borussia Dortmund has since been ordered to train away from the first team and his future in the side whilst Ten Hag remains in charge appears to be over.
Raphinha, on the other hand, joined Barcelona in a £55m deal from Leeds United last year and has made 65 appearances for the Spanish champions, scoring 12 goals and providing 17 assists. Mundo Deportivo reports that Raphinha is considered 'untouchable' in the January window and Barcelona would only consider selling next summer if they received a significant fee for the Brazil international.
