PSG could end their pursuit of Man Utd star, close to signing French wonderkid
Manchester United want to sell their out-of-favour players to generate funds to strengthen their squad.
Jadon Sancho has been tipped for an Old Trafford exit this summer but may stay at Old Trafford.
Paris Saint-Germain were reportedly interested in signing Sancho but are closing in on French sensation Desire Doue.

Despite interest from Bayern Munich, the 19-year-old has opted for a move to Paris.
The Ligue 1 club are expected to spend a hefty sum to sign Doue, which could end their pursuit of Sancho.
The England international has endured a troubled spell at United since he arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for around £73 million.
He has faced challenges in consistently delivering top-level performances. The off-field problems have not helped him either.
He was banished from the first team last season after a public feud with Erik ten Hag.
They buried the hatchet and Sancho was reintegrated into the squad last month.
He was sent on as a substitute late in the second half against Manchester City in the FA Community Shield.
He marked his return with a missed spot kick in the penalty shoot-out, allowing Man City to grab the silverware.
United would have preferred to sell him this summer for £30m-£40m.
If he stays at Old Trafford, he must show his worth in the 2024/25 campaign. If not, the club must sanction his departure next summer.
It would be bad news for Antony, who has fallen down the pecking order.
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho could compete for the left-wing role with Sancho used more on the right-wing.
