Aston Villa is reportedly investigating the possibility of signing Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho in preparation for a potential departure for fellow United lender Marcus Rashford, according to Team Talc.
Sancho, who recently returned to Old Trafford after a season-long loan at Chelsea, has urged United to seek a 25-year-old move, not part of new manager Reuben Amorim’s plans.
Chelsea had the option to make Sancho’s move permanent for £25 million, but chose it because they disagreed with personal terms with the players.
Instead, Bruce paid Man United a £5 million penalty, allowing Sancho to return to his parent club.
Aston Villa needs more options to attack this summer
Villa’s interest in Sancho arises, particularly when assessing attack options on the left flank.
Rashford, who joined the villa on loan in January, has linked its journey to Barcelona, making his stay at Villa Park uncertain.
Unai Emery is ready to add new options to his attack this summer, and he believes United wingers will be available in bargain moves.
However, Sancho’s high wages reportedly cost around £300,000 per week, which could be a challenge for villas and other clubs of interest.

Naples and AC Milan are also linked to England International, but financial considerations can complicate potential transactions.
The pursuit of Sancho at Villa depends on a variety of factors, including Rashford’s future and Sancho’s willingness to adjust wage demands.
With several clubs monitoring the situation, Sancho’s next move remains a topic of interest.
The Red Devils are likely to sign Brian Mbuemo from Brentford this summer, which means that players who are surplus to Old Trafford’s requirements will be offloaded, with Sancho being one of them.
