Borussia Dortmund are preparing to sell Jadon Sancho this summer.
Sport1 says the Manchester United target will not be at the German club for the start of the 2021/22 campaign.
United tried and failed to sign Sancho last year but refused to meet Dortmund's £108million valuation.
However, the Bundesliga giants need to balance the books to the tune of around £88m.
And that could see United finally get their hands on one of their top targets.
