Jadon Sancho's career at Manchester United is reportedly "90% over", with the attacker preparing to leave Old Trafford when the January transfer window opens for business.
Borussia Dortmund are thought to be the favourites when it comes to the 23-year-old, although Barcelona and Juventus are among the other clubs said to be keeping a close eye on his situation.
Sancho has not played for Man United since the end of August due to a falling-out with Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag, which stemmed from the attacker not being included against Arsenal last month.
Ten Hag said that he left the ex-Manchester City youngster out due to some poor performances in training, but Sancho insisted that was not the case as he hit back on social media.
The forward has been removed from the first-team picture entirely, having seemingly refused to apologise to his manager, who is not prepared to alter his stance.

An apology at this stage would allegedly be seen as not genuine, with various reports suggesting that the relationship between the two individuals is now beyond repair.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Sancho's career at Man United is "90% over", with the club "open to any opportunity" in January.
"I think they [United] know at the moment that it's not going to be a permanent transfer, that could be a loan deal with a buy option included," Romano said on his Daily Briefing podcast.
"So, I think in January that they will be open to any opportunity of course. Of course, they would prefer a permanent transfer, that would be perfect to have their money back after what they spent on Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.

"But, at the moment, they know in January to find a top class club in Europe prepared to pay, and this is my opinion and not the official price, somewhere between £50m-£55m is not going to be easy. So we will have to see what happens there.
"At the moment, the people from Manchester United is very clear. It looks like it's 90% over between Jadon Sancho and Man United.
"We keep a 10% because we know that anything can happen in football, but as of today, it reminds us of the situation with Cristiano Ronaldo one year ago. The feeling is that Jadon has to find a new club in the January transfer window."
Man United are allegedly open to letting Sancho leave on an 18-month loan deal, with Dortmund thought to be interested in re-signing him under those terms.
The forward has only managed 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances for the 20-time English champions since his arrival from BVB in the summer of 2021.
