Man Utd Summer Talks Continue as Sancho, Antony and Rashford Attract Interest

Sancho talks continue with Juventus

Manchester United’s summer activity is increasingly focused on outgoings, as Sky Sports reports that Juventus are continuing negotiations over a potential deal for Jadon Sancho. Club-to-club discussions are ongoing, with United believed to value the forward at around £25 million.

The deal is not straightforward. “Sancho is very likely to have to take a pay cut,” noted Sky’s Dharmesh Sheth, with personal terms presenting a significant hurdle. Napoli have reportedly cooled their interest, shifting focus to alternative targets, leaving Juventus as the primary contenders at this stage.

Antony monitored by Real Betis

Elsewhere, Real Betis remain determined to complete a deal for Antony. The Brazilian enjoyed a productive loan spell in Spain last season, scoring nine goals in 24 starts. Their sporting director admitted it is “a complex deal to do,” but talks are progressing. Como have expressed interest, although Antony prefers a return to Betis.

Rashford and Garnacho attract attention

Sky also report that discussions involving intermediaries are taking place around Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. No formal offers have been submitted, but activity is expected to increase as the window develops.

United’s strategy appears aimed at reshaping the squad, with several high-profile names now subject to external interest.

Our View – EPL Index Analysis

This latest update from Sky Sports offers a glimmer of clarity. If there is a sense of finality about Sancho’s time at the club, then £25 million seems a realistic figure, particularly if Juventus are serious. Wage cuts complicate matters, but this feels like a move that benefits all parties. Sancho needs a restart. United need the budget space.

Antony’s potential return to Betis is harder to gauge. His form in Spain was far more consistent than anything seen in the Premier League, and if a permanent deal can be structured properly, it would allow United to move forward without carrying the weight of his hefty price tag. A second chance in La Liga makes more sense than shoehorning him into Amorim’s system again.

As for Rashford and Garnacho, it is difficult not to feel wary. Interest in both is inevitable, but these are players United should be building around, not selling. If either were to go, particularly Garnacho, it would send a conflicting message about the long-term strategy.

A lot still hinges on whether Amorim gets the reinforcements he needs. Selling fringe assets is fine. Letting core players go is another story entirely.
