'Audacious Swap': United offered impressive ex-Aston Villa star for £250,000p/w flop

Manchester United continue to struggle in offloading their fringe stars as the summer rebuild gathers pace.

Jadon Sancho has no future at United and the club are looking at possibilities to offload the winger.

According to The Mirror, Juventus have “stepped up their attempts” to sign Sancho from United.

The Italian giants are ready to offer “three different players in a bid to strike an audacious swap deal”.

Dusan Vlahovic, Douglas Luiz, or Timothy Weah could be included as makeweights in a potential blockbuster exchange.

Sancho returned to United this summer after a disappointing loan at Chelsea, having refused to take a pay cut to stay.

The Red Devils are open to selling the winger for around £25 million but his massive £250,000-a-week wages remain a major stumbling block.

A swap deal could be the best escape route for United.

The Old Trafford outfit are in the market for a new striker and Vlahovic is also looking for a new club.

The 25-year-old centre-forward recorded a modest tally of ten goals in 29 Serie A games last season.

Relying on Vlahovic to lead the line in the high-octane English top flight could be a risky bet for United.

Timothy Weah offers versatility in attack, but his return of five goals in 30 league outings hardly screams upgrade.

Douglas Luiz seems to be a better option for the Red Devils, especially considering Ruben Amorim is looking for a new midfielder.

The Brazilian impressed during his stint with Aston Villa and could inject much-needed dynamism into United’s midfield.

He has not only thrived as a number six but also has the ability to launch sharp attacking moves from deep.
