Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United seems to be in doubt as he is not included in the squad for their opening game against Fulham. The 24-year-old had spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, but has returned to the club and participated in pre-season matches. However, his absence from the squad for the Community Shield and now the opening Premier League game has raised concerns about his future at the club.
Despite his involvement in pre-season, Sancho's name was not on the team sheet for the game against Fulham. This has led to speculation that he may be on the verge of leaving the club, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting that his "future remains open" and he could still depart before the transfer window closes. Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in the winger and have even held talks with his representatives, but no bid has been made yet.
It was reported last month that Sancho and manager Erik ten Hag had resolved their differences from last season and were moving forward. Ten Hag had spoken positively about the winger, stating that he is a very good player and he hopes he can contribute to the team's success. However, Sancho's absence from the squad has cast doubts on his future at the club.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has opted for a back four of Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, and Noussair Mazraoui in front of Andre Onana for the game against Fulham. In midfield, Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo are paired with Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes, while Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford are out wide. With Sancho's absence, it remains to be seen how the Red Devils will fare without him in their squad.
It seems that Manchester United are already planning for a future without Sancho, with talks already underway for a potential move for Manuel Ugarte. The French club is not the only interested party in Sancho, according to Romano, but talks for Ugarte's transfer are already in progress. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Sancho and if he will still be a Manchester United player by the end of the transfer window. For now, fans will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds.
