JADON SANCHO is reportedly close to leaving Manchester United in a stunning swap for Paris Saint-Germain star Manuel Ugarte.
And he could even be joined by team-mate Marcus Rashford, who will also be lined up for the French giants this summer.

Sancho is back in Erik ten Hag’s good books after making amends following last season’s incredible shambles that saw him returned to Borussia Dortmund.
The winger is now hoping for a run in the starting line-up as he looks to regain his place in England.
But the Independent claims that Sancho’s future at United is not as solid as it appears on the surface.
Instead, the full-back is being used as a bargaining chip by United in negotiations to sign Uruguayan midfielder Ugarte.
He is believed to have already agreed a personal contract with the Red Devils.
But PSG’s £60m price tag has so far prevented United from making an offer.
And they hope that Luis Enrique’s team is now prepared to loan Sancho, with an obligation to buy, to sweeten the deal.
The winger, who earns £250,000-a-week at Old Trafford, is reportedly interested in moving to France.

And it could open the door for PSG to let Ugarte go in the opposite direction, with the move for Sancho considered close.
The report adds that United are even willing to discuss a deal for local superstar Rashford, who has long been on PSG’s wish list.

He is considered one of the main targets to replace Kylian Mbappe.
But £300,000-a-week Rashford may not be as eager to move to Paris as Sancho, especially after losing his place in England’s Euro squad.
It is unlikely that any deal will be completed in time for United’s first game of the new Premier League season.
The Red Devils host Fulham on Friday and could debut three new signings.
Striker Joshua Zirkzee, defender Matthijs de Ligt and full-back Noussair Mazraoui are available for the clash.
But teenage ace Leny Yoro is unavailable after suffering an injury that will sideline him for several weeks.
