MANCHESTER UNITED outcast Jadon Sancho is wanted by Saudi side Al-Hilal ahead of the January transfer window, reports suggest.

Sancho has fallen out of favour at United after his public spat with manager Erik ten Hag following his omission from the Dutch tactician's squad against Arsenal in September.

The winger no longer trains or interacts with Ten Hag's senior squad as reports suggest he has refused to apologise to his head coach even though that could have reinstated him in the team.

And according to Caught Offside, the England international could go to Saudi Arabia to replace Neymar at Al-Hilal.

The Saudi giants are prioritising a replacement for the Brazil international after a serious injury ruled him out for 10 months.

Jorge Jesus' side isn't necessarily looking for a "like-for-like profile".

Sancho has failed to stand out at United ever since his £73million arrival from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.

The 23-year-old has only amassed a mere 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances.

But the forward shone bright during his four-year stint at Dortmund as he registered a staggering 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 matches.

Sancho, though, hasn't shown much interest in moving to Saudi Arabia any time soon.

Saudi clubs, on the other hand, showed interest after he fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford.

Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq made an enquiry but United wanted a loan with a £50m obligation to buy.

Sancho has also attracted interest from Europe with Juventus keeping tabs, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

But many teams prefer a straight loan or similar deal with an option to buy.
