United could off-load 5 players to finance Sancho transfer

Sancho has been heavily linked with a return to England in recent months. The former Manchester City youngster has scored 20 times and produced 18 assists this season with Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund though want to keep Sancho for at least another season but are taking a tough stance on his future. What's more, they're said to have placed a £115million price tag on the attacker's head.

According to the Sunday Express, Sancho remains top of United's summer shopping list. As per the report, Woodward plans to do this by offloading a plethora of unwanted players first.

First out the door is likely to be Jesse Lingard. Woodward also wants to move on unwanted defenders Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling and possibly Phil Jones too. United's biggest piece of business in terms of outgoings, however, could be Alexis Sanchez.
