Sancho has rejected a switch to Roma despite reports Man United were prepared to sell him for around £20million. 

The 25-year-old, who is out of contract in June 2026, returned to Old Trafford this summer after Chelsea decided against signing him permanently following his loan spell at Stamford Bridge last season.

However, former Old Trafford chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider Man United are confident of agreeing a transfer for Sancho before the window closes on 1 September.

This article contains exclusive comment from Keith Wyness, former Everton, Aston Villa, and Aberdeen CEO.

Football Insider revealed on 17 August Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho must leave Man United before they can move for their ambitious targets.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness said: “I spoke to somebody involved in the transaction just the other day and they said, yes, it is the size of his remuneration at Man United that is the problem.

“Now, we’ve seen Sancho not turn it on in a couple of places and even on loan, so certainly there’s a bigger question mark for Roma there.”

In terms of other transfer activity, Amorim has told Rasmus Hojlund he can leave Man United after he was not included in the squad for their opening-day defeat against Arsenal. 

AC Milan are believed to be the front-runners to sign the Denmark international despite him recently confessing he wanted to fight for his place at Old Trafford. 

Hojlund has largely failed to impress for Man United since joining in a £72million deal from Atalanta in 2023, registering 26 goals and six assists in 95 appearances over the past two years.
