Manchester United’s great duo of Jadon Sancho and Antony have failed to impress since arriving at Old Trafford.

And having spent £148 million on the pair, it is now reported that Man Utd will let them go.

Earlier this year, SunSport revealed that Mason Greenwood would be at the centre of the summer wave of moves in Spain.

“It’s huge in its synchronization, huge in the fact that they all look the same, dressed in the same tracksuits and clothes.
“Everything helps to create a team, so that no one has a big ego. Everyone is in the same boat and pushing in the right direction.
“There can be little messages, like when I came in against Brentford, to show why you play.
“For me, I was just trying to show him that I can do it and it’s clear that he’s an ordinary coach with wonderful tactical dimensions in this game. Some of the things he says and the way he conducts his meetings are brilliant. I just need to be one who is a part of it. “
