He was axed from United’s WhatsApp group after already being barred from training with the senior side or using any of their facilities, including the canteen.

Sancho was outcasted after a stand-off that started when he was left out of the squad for September’s 3-1 loss at Arsenal.

Manager Erik ten Hag said his training was not up to standard when quizzed on his absence afterwards, but Sancho posted on social media in response: “I will not allow people saying things that are completely untrue, I conducted myself in training very well this week.”

The England international, whose last cap came over two years ago, deleted the post, But Ten Hag called for an apology that never came.

Both his team-mates and club staff urged Sancho — who joined from Borussia Dortmund for £73m in July 2021 — to back down but he has refused and now he is being linked with a host of clubs.

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Dutch international midfielder Van De Beek was a £34m arrival signing from Ajax back in 2020.

However, he has only made six Premier League starts for the Red Devils with his time in England being marred by injuries and a lack of minutes, and even a loan move to Everton failed to turn his fortunes around.

Van De Beek, who has under two years remaining on his contract, has played just 21 minutes so far this season with his last outing coming off the bench in the 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace on September 30.

He recently revealed his desperation to get away and begin a new challenge once the transfer window opens in January if he continues to be left out.

And now a fresh report has claimed that BOTH men could be offered an Old Trafford escape route by Juventus.

According to ESPN, the Italian giants are readying a double swoop for them next month.

Corriere Dello Sport have also claimed that Juve want to sign Van de Beek on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

The publications state that they also hold an interest in Sancho, with United ready to accept a suitable offer from the Serie A side.

The Italian outlet states that an offer of around £26m would be enough to tempt Ten Hag to sell.

But that figure could also “unlock” the prospect of them not having to pay anything initially fee wise for Van De Beek.

Juventus are looking to strengthen their squad due to the long-term suspension of Paul Pogba in midfield and winger Nicolo Fagioli.
