Barcelona linked with move for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho

Barcelona has been linked with a move for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho, according to a report from Spanish outlet Sport. United will require £51 million for him to leave, but the Catalonian giants could seek a loan deal instead.

Sancho spent much of the 2023/24 season out on loan at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, after he fell out of favour with head coach Erik ten Hag. His future of at United seems limited - could Barcelona be his next destination?

Kobbie Mainoo ‘ready’ to start for England

England’s start in Euro 2024 has not been particularly inspiring thus far. Despite this, Kobbie Mainoo is remaining positive, saying he is ‘ready whenever’ to play for his country.

Speaking to England football’s official website, Mainoo said: “I love football, I love playing, so anybody who is on the bench wants to get on the pitch. They sat deep and they are a good side on the ball, but I feel like we have the quality to break these teams down. As the level gets higher in the next round, I feel like we can get to those levels.

“We’re ready whenever we’re called upon, like the rest of the lads are. We train hard and in the game when we get our chance, we try and impress so we can help the team as much as possible.”
