Manchester United consider emergency signing amid Antony and Jadon Sancho uncertainty

Manchester United are said to be weighing up a move for ex-Aston Villa winger Anwar El Ghazi amid uncertainty surrounding Antony and Jadon Sancho.

This is according to Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail, where it is claimed that Manchester United are considering signing the free agent.

Anwar El Ghazi left PSV Eindhoven by mutual consent last week, and he is therefore available to sign for Erik ten Hag outside of the transfer window.

El Ghazi, who is 28 years old, was in attendance at the Emirates Stadium as United lost 3-1 to Arsenal, and also has offers from Saudi Arabia.

United are currently suffering from major issues in their right-wing slot, with Antony unavailable due to domestic abuse allegations, and the future of Jadon Sancho unclear.

Sancho is set to be punished after a social media statement last week, and even in the reserves, United currently have injuries to Amad and Mason Mount.

Although the report confirms that Sancho and Ten Hag met on Monday for the first time since his statement to talk, the result of this meeting remains unclear.

It is important to note that despite the news breaking of United’s reported interest in El Ghazi on Monday evening, Tuesday morning has seen Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic confirm that despite a proposal by agents, the club are not interested in the player.
