JADON SANCHO could be in line for a shock move to Saudi Arabia, it’s been claimed.
The England international’s future with Manchester United is up in the air after he publicly clapped back at manager Erik ten Hag‘s criticism of his “performances in training”.

And it’s claimed he could be offered a way out of his current Old Trafford nightmare by an unnamed Saudi Pro League club – who have until Thursday night to conclude their transfer business.
That’s according to Sport Italia, who claim one of the mega-rich Saudi clubs have “sent an official offer” to Sancho’s representatives.
The club is said to be hard at work “exploring” the opportunity to sign the former Borussia Dortmund man.
Sancho, 23, seemed to be in the good graces of Ten Hag after his three-month hiatus from the first team last season to focus on his mental health.
But his displays in training as of late have failed to impress his gaffer, who dropped him from the matchday squad for United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal last Sunday.
Ten Hag said: “On his performance in training, we didn’t select him.
“You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.
“You can make choices in the front line, so in this game he wasn’t selected.”

Sancho snapped back at his manager on Twitter, writing in a note: “Please don’t believe everything you read!
“I will not allow people to say things that are completely untrue. I have conducted myself in training very well this week.
“I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!
“All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to the team.
“I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and I am grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge.
“I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!”
Manchester United will be back in action a week on Saturday, welcoming Brighton to Old Trafford.
