Chelsea and Manchester United have ‘opened talks’ over a sensational deal that could see Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho swap clubs ahead of transfer deadline day.
Sterling has been frozen out of the Blues first team in the opening two weeks of the Premier League season and was stripped of his squad number, making clear that he is not a part of new head coach Enzo Maresca’s plans.
Sancho reconciled with Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag over the summer and featured for the side in pre-season, but has not featured in the matchday squad for either of their first two fixtures.
It has now emerged that Man Utd sporting director Dan Ashworth was ‘in dialogue’ with Chelsea over a potential swap deal involving both players, according to The Telegraph.
