Jadon Sancho has reportedly decided which club he wants to join in January after falling out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
Sancho has been banished from the first-team for refusing to apologise to Ten Hag after he released a statement on social media following his omission against Arsenal last month.
It's been claimed that the 23-year-old believes that if he were to apologise and admit the manager was right, it would undermine going public with his views.
The relationship between Ten Hag and Sancho is 'beyond repair', with a move away from Old Trafford appearing likely for the player, who cost the Premier League club a whopping £73 million from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
La Liga giants Barcelona are thought to be interested in signing Sancho, but reports claim he's eyeing another move ahead of the transfer window reopening next year.

According to 90 min, Sancho wants to rejoin Dortmund, who have kept tabs on their former star during his first two years at Man United.
Their relationship is still strong following four seasons together.
Man United, though, would want to recoup a chunk of the transfer fee they paid to sign Sancho as they would plot a move for a replacement, having identified a target.

But following the public dispute and the January transfer window approaching, where big-money transfers are more rare, a loan deal with an option to buy is a more likely scenario, per the report.
Sancho enjoyed great success in Germany as he starred in the Bundesliga, making 137 appearances and scoring an impressive 50 goals across all competitions.
