Juventus to offer Sancho a lifeline
Phil Thomas of SunSport reports that Jadon Sancho will be offered a chance to revive his career by Serie A giants Juventus.
Juve could move for Sancho in January after Erik Ten Hag exiled the winger from his squad.
But the Bianconeri will only sanction the move if United agree to still pay HALF of the winger’s £375,000-a-week wages.
Juve are willing to offer a loan with an option to buy for as much as £60million next summer.

Earps shirts in high demand
Nike finally released Mary Earps England shirts on Monday – only for them to sell out in a matter of hours.
Earps, 30, was left "hugely disappointed" ahead of this summer's Women's World Cup after the sportswear company failed to put any goalkeeper shirts on sale.
The Manchester United star also revealed that she had been "fighting behind closed doors" and "trying to go through the correct channels" in a bid to find a solution.
Nike initially decided against selling the shirts, but they made a U-turn in August and announced that a limited quantity would be released.
And on Monday morning, exactly 50 days after the World Cup final, they were finally put on sale.
Three colour options – pink, green and yellow – were available to fans with 'Earps 1' on the back.
The shirts were priced at £99.95 on the official Nike website, but some have since been put up on eBay for DOUBLE the price.
Two shirts – one yellow and one pink – have been sold for an astonishing £199.99.

EXCLUSIVE: Rooney set for huge Birmingham wage
Wayne Rooney will pocket THREE TIMES the salary of his predecessor John Eustace if he becomes Birmingham City's new boss.
The Championship club are ready to offer Rooney £1.5million-a-year to take over from Eustace, who was sacked yesterday.
SunSport understands Eustace's £9,000-a-week wages will be dwarfed by Rooney.
He has been offered closer to £29,000-a-week to front the club's promotion push.
Rooney has been told the Birmingham job is his if he wants it and he has been offered more than the £23,653-a-week salary he commanded at DC United.

EXCLUSIVE: Man Utd want Benfica star
Benfica star Joao Neves is on Manchester United's radar.
SunSport understands Red Devils boss Erik Ten Hag, who has already ramped up his scouting operations in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio being closely monitored ahead of a potential swoop in January, also wants firm eyes on young midfield ace Neves.
The 19 year-old has been one Benfica's stand out performers this season and is a regular starter for boss Roger Schmidt's reigning champs.
The scout attended Benfica's match against Estoril last week, where Neves started his eighth game in a row.

Agbonlahor demands Man Utd apology
Gabby Agbonlahor believes Manchester United fans are owed an apology after the players did a lap of honour after their 2-1 victory on Saturday.
Super-sub Scott McTominay scored both goals as the Red Devils completed an incredible injury-time comeback win over Brentford.
The lap of honour and euphoric scenes that followed the final whistle were in stark contrast to what was being lined up for Erik ten Hag had the situation not changed so dramatically.
Many believe that the result cannot mask what was, for so long, another poor performance.
And former Aston Villa forward Agbonlahor has ripped into them for circling the stadium to celebrate with fans.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "Manchester United were absolutely useless.
"They were doing a lap of honour like they’d just won the Champions League!
“They should be apologising to the fans. They know it’s papering the cracks.”

United legend baffled by Ten Hag comments
Peter Schmeichel has slammed Erik ten Hag's comment on Scott McTominay after he saved Manchester United against Brentford.
The Red Devils icon was left baffled when Ten Hag said he was still open to selling the Scotsman after nearly losing him this summer to West Ham.
Schmeichel said: "He’s got the ability to do that. I don’t understand what coaches are doing.
"Scott McTominay was up for sale all summer and I don’t understand that.
"He’s a fantastic player, you need utility players. You need players that can play different positions, that can come from the bench and change the course of the game and he’s definitely one of them.
"You bring in players and you sit there with big question marks, why is that player there?"

Sancho 'disruptive influence', according to Ten Hag

The Mail report that the Dutchman is understood to have told the club that the attitude of other players in training has improved since Sancho was exiled.

Rooney linked with Birmingham job
Wayne Rooney is set for an immediate clash with Manchester United legend and former team-mate Michael Carrick if he takes over at Birmingham.
The former Red Devils ace is expected to be appointed Brum's new boss in the coming days after John Eustace was sacked.
SunSport reported last month that former England captain Rooney has been in constant touch with Birmingham's part-owner, and NFL legend, Tom Brady.
And it now seems St Andrews chiefs have moved quickly to get their man after Rooney left MLS side DC United at the weekend.
The 37-year-old's first fixture if he returns to English football will be against Middlesbrough after the international break.
It means he will face old Red Devils pal Carrick, who is the manager of Middlesbrough, at the Riverside on October 21.

Neville makes Man Utd U-turn
Gary Neville has made a U-turn on his season prediction for Manchester United after their sluggish start.
The former defender has now predicted that Erik ten Hag's men will not come close to finishing in the top five this season.
United's poor performances have left him tracking back on his words after pledging at the start of the season that the Red Devils would make the top three.
"I think they are way off it. And I’m surprised because seven or eight weeks ago, I had them third.
"But honestly from what I see at the moment, I don’t think the goalkeeper is settled in, I think he should have saved the one yesterday so that is a problem.
"If your goalkeeper is not settled in and there is a bit of instability around that, it does create a big problem. I’ve had that at United. So United, not for me."

Sheikh Jassim takeover update
CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs has said that Sheikh Jassim is still 100% committed to his takeover bid of Manchester United.
But the Qatar based takeover bid will only go ahead if Jassim can take 100% of the club.
Jacobs said: "It's just about whether or not they can agree on a price. And as a consequence, they may have to go higher, and ultimately eventually pay what it takes."

Sheikh Jassim takeover update
CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs has provided an update on Sheikh Jassim's attempts to takeover Manchester United.
The reporter said: "Sheikh Jassim is still committed to a full buyout of Manchester United, which means 100% of the club, including the Glazers’ share. He will not budge on that. It's an all-or-nothing bid.
"There's no scenario where the Nine Two Foundation and Sheikh Jassim would entertain staying on course for Manchester United if the Glazers want to stay. They don’t want any scenario where they're a minority investor where the Glazers remain. They don't want any scenario where they don’t have 100% of the club."

United will offer Lindelof new contract
Phil Thomas of SunSport reports that United will trigger Victor Lindelof's 12 month contract extension.
Ten Hag has been impressed by Lindelof’s attitude in regaining his first team slot, and knows AC Milan and Juventus are both keen.
The Swedish centre-back has yet to decide on his long-term future at the club.
But with his contract up in the summer, United will trigger the extension, to ensure they don’t lose him for nothing if he does leave.

Gary Neville has admitted that he is worried about how Andre Onana is settling in at Manchester United.
The goalkeeper made another costly error that led to Brentford's opener against United.

Neville praises McTominay
Gary Neville has praised Scott McTominay for his impact off the bench during the 2-1 win over Brentford.
McTominay's two stoppage time goals turned the game around from defeat into victory.
Neville said: "Saturday was a big moment for him and I was happy for a few of the payers that came back in because they've been battered and that's what happens when you've got a club that's failing.
"You end up not knowing who's the good guys and bad guys. You end up calling [out] the ones that have been there a long time."
