Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag issues huge Jadon Sancho transfer update amid strong Chelsea interest as Blues make first offer

Ten Hag was asked about Sancho's future after Chelsea submitted their first bid for the winger. Per Fabrizio Romano, they have offered a loan package that eclipses Juventus' offer for the Englishman, and Sancho is said to be open to the move. However, Ten Hag insists he believes the player will remain at Old Trafford.

Sancho and Ten Hag have infamously clashed in the past and the former has struggled to make an impression so far this season. He came on as a substitute against Manchester City in the Community Shield but has not played a minute of Premier League football thus far.

Ten Hag said: “As far as I know, I expect him to stay, yeah. We are happy with him. We need a good squad. We have to play many games until January. After the break we play every third day so we need options."

United play Liverpool in a huge encounter this weekend. It remains to be seen if Sancho will still be on their books, as the transfer window slams shut on Friday evening.
