The most probable exit route for winger Jadon Sancho from Manchester United now appears to be through Saudi Arabia, as reported by The Athletic.

Borussia Dortmund, the club where Sancho developed before his move to Manchester United, currently faces financial constraints that prevent them from reacquiring the player.

At just 23 years old, Sancho seems destined to leave Old Trafford in January due to a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, primarily concerning his behaviour during training sessions.

This dispute has resulted in Sancho's exclusion from the first-team squad, and he hasn't made an appearance for Manchester United since August.

Despite not living up to expectations at United following his £73 million transfer from Dortmund in 2021, Sancho has garnered interest from various European clubs.

However, his high wages pose a significant obstacle.

Initial sources from ESPN suggested that Dortmund was keen on bringing Sancho back to the club.

However, they reportedly cannot match his substantial £200,000-a-week salary, making a move to Saudi Arabia the most feasible option for the English international.

While a move to Saudi Arabia was strongly rumoured at the end of the summer transfer window, it never materialised.

Nevertheless, it is expected that Saudi clubs will pursue Sancho in January, as such a deal would likely benefit all parties involved.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag faced difficulties in securing several of his desired signings in the summer, largely due to the inability to offload surplus squad players.

Thus, he is likely motivated to facilitate Sancho's departure, which would free up funds for Manchester United to pursue their own targets in the upcoming transfer window.

It's worth noting that Juventus has also been linked with an interest in the winger.
