JADON SANCHO could be handed a sensational career lifeline by an Italian club, it’s been claimed.
The winger’s future at Manchester United is up in the air, despite his recent patching up of his relationship with manager Erik ten Hag.
It’s understood the Red Devils are willing to cash in on the England international should they receive a suitable offer.
And Italian giants Juventus are reportedly interested in acquiring his services.
That’s according to Sky Sports, who claim The Old Lady have a “firm interest” in signing the 24-year-old.
The Serie A big boys are said to be exploring options to sign the former Borussia Dortmund man.
One of those options could see them offload Italy international Federico Chiesa.
Sancho’s future at the Theatre of Dreams was seemingly plunged into further doubt when he was omitted from United’s match squad for their Premier League opener against Fulham last Friday.
Ten Hag quickly revealed Sancho’s absence was the result of an ear infection, not because he’s on his way out of the club.
But the Dutchman has refused to confirm if he’ll be part of his matchday squad for Saturday’s trip to Brighton.

“We will see,” Ten Hag said when asked if Sancho will be in the squad for the trip to the Amex. “We have a squad.
“I hope we will have a squad with double positioning (two players for every role).
“And when we go into the season after September 1, that means you can’t select all the players but you need them all throughout the season.
“We have to manage it.
“The attitude of the players is very important. Sometimes they will be disappointed (at being left out).
“They have to deal with it.
“You win as a squad. The prizes are decided next May and until then we need all the players in the squad and highly motivated.
“That is not an expectation. That is a demand on the squad.”
