Manchester United need to offload players if they are to make more signings this summer, but Jadon Sancho is not one they are willing to cash in on according to a report.
United only had a transfer kitty of £120 million heading into the summer window, and they will have spent nearly all of that once Andre Onana completes his move from Inter Milan, with Mason Mount already acquired from Chelsea.
The Glazer family - who are reportedly in the process of selling the club to either Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani or Sir Jim Ratcliffe - haven't contributed an equity investment in three years, leaving United somewhat hamstrung by Financial Fair Play.

Jadon Sancho is being linked with a £50m move to Tottenham.

"It has been determined that Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly, Fred, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Antony Elanga [and] Anthony Martial are available for transfer as they do not directly fit with the club's long-term ambitions," he wrote on GiveMeSport.
Conspicuous by his absence is Sancho, who has been linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund and transfer to Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.

Sancho, who is capable of playing on either wing, has Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho in his way on the left flank, and Antony on the right, while Amad Diallo is set to be given a chance to prove himself this season after impressing on loan at Sunderland.
Of the players listed, Maguire might be expected to fetch the highest fee, with United understood to be willing to accept £40m for a player they paid Leicester a central defensive record £80m for four years ago.
