Right, some big breaking news reaching us. It involves the future of Manchester United and the England forward Jadon Sancho.
As you can see our chief reporter Kaveh Solakul is here. What can you tell us?
Yeah, this is a development that's coming from Sky Germany and they're reporting that it's increasingly likely that Jadon Sancho
is going to leave Manchester United in January when the transfer window opens.
Of course, at the moment he's frozen out. He's training on his own away from the first team squad
because he's refusing to say sorry to his manager Eric ten Haag.
But Sky Germany are saying that he has been in regular contact with Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic.
Now, interestingly, of course, Sancho used to play at Borussia Dortmund and for a while Terzic was his manager
because he was interim manager towards the end of Sancho's time at Dortmund.
So Dortmund, according to Sky Germany, want him back. It's more likely to be alone than a permanent move.
But Sky Germany also saying at the moment it's unlikely that he would return to Borussia Dortmund.
So I think Dortmund want him, but they realise it would be difficult to get him out of Manchester United.
Interesting that he's sort of, if he does go somewhere, he's thinking of going back to somewhere where he knows
and he like clearly got on with the manager. Why doesn't he just say sorry?
Do you feel that the Manchester United fans that want to see him on the pitch are going to ask that question, surely?
Sorry is the hardest word for Jadon Sancho because looking from the outside in, you're totally right.
Why doesn't he just say sorry, kiss and make up with Eric ten Haag?
Then he would be welcomed back into the first time picture.
But obviously he feels so strongly about this issue.
Everybody remembers a month ago he was left out of the squad for the game at Arsenal.
Eric ten Haag was asked why wasn't Jadon Sancho in the squad?
Ten Haag said basically because his training performances hadn't been good enough to warrant a place in the squad.
So he made it public as well?
He made it public, but he was asked the question. He was asked the question and he tried to honestly answer the question.
But then what Jadon Sancho did is he went straight on social media and effectively accused Eric ten Haag of lying
and said, I don't want to be made a scapegoat.
So what Eric ten Haag is saying is just apologise to me for doing that, for going on social media,
because everybody knows you're a professional footballer.
You can't criticise your manager on social media.
But as of today, this afternoon, Jadon Sancho feels so strongly about this that he hasn't apologised.
And if he continues this, because it's been a month now, if it carries on and on until January, then Sky Germany is totally right.
He would have to leave United. He can't just waste his career away not playing football.
And I think the most likely thing that would happen then would be that he would get a loan move.
And you would think a loan move probably abroad would make sense.
I'm sure a lot of clubs would like to sign him because he's a brilliant, brilliant player.
I know things haven't gone well for him at United since he moved there from Borussia Dortmund, but he is a fantastic player.
He just needs to get over this blip in his career and get his confidence back and be playing regularly and get back to his best as quickly as possible.
I would wholeheartedly agree. Thank you very much, Carvey.
