Manchester United are expecting both Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood to take part in preseason training.

Sancho spent the second half of the 2023-24 season on loan at Borussia Dortmund after falling out with Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag.

Meanwhile, Greenwood spent the same period on loan at La Liga side Getafe.

The pair are both expected to leave the club on a permanent basis this summer but a deal for neither has yet been agreed.

Still, many assumed that they would be told not to bother coming to preseason training, though that is seemingly not the case.

ESPN are reporting that Sancho and Greenwood have both been told that they must return to the club's training ground, Carrington.

So, if they have not left by July 8, they will meet up with the rest of the United squad - except those who competed at the Euros.

Sancho and Greenwood to leave?

Sancho impressed in his loan spell at Dortmund, in which he helped them to reach the Champions League final.

There will surely be plenty of interest in his services, though a return to the Signal Iduna Park seems most likely.

As for Greenwood, he has been linked with moves to Italian clubs Juventus, Napoli and Lazio.

Yet, The Athletic are now reporting that French club Marseille, who recently appointed ex-Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, are 'exploring a deal'.

"Talks between the Ligue 1 club and their Premier League counterparts are at an early stage and finances are yet to be discussed.

"But Greenwood is a player Marseille are keen to recruit and they have held a positive dialogue with the 22-year-old forward, who is believed to favour a Marseille over other options at this stage."
