The former England winger is part of Ruben Amorim‘s infamous ‘Bomb Squad’ alongside Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia and Antony.
Sancho has been training alone after the squad leaves Carrington after Chelsea paid a £5million penalty for neglecting their £25million obligation to buy him on the basis of his huge wages.
But United look set to offload Sancho’s £250,000-a-week pay packet for another season with Roma interested in a loan deal.
According to The Times, the Italian club have also made an inquiry for Aston Villa forward Leon Bailey.
The Red Devils will save around £10million in wages if Sancho joins Roma.
United have already been relieved of a significant financial burden after Barcelona agreed to cover Marcus Rashford‘s reduced salary during his season-long loan.
United chiefs would prefer to sell Sancho permanently for between £20million and 25million as he has one year left on his contract.
Juventus and his former club Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with Sancho this summer.

Sancho won the Conference League with Chelsea last season and spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Dortmund.
Besiktas have also been linked with a move for Sancho, who has scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 83 appearances for United.
Besiktas manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, brought Sancho to United in 2021 for £73million from Dortmund but the player fell out with the Norwegian’s successor Erik ten Hag.
And current boss Ruben Amorim has no intention of bringing him back into the first-team fold.
He has one year remaining on his contract although United have the option to extend it by a further year.
