Manchester United are playing hardball in negotiations with Chelsea and are only prepared to sanction Jadon Sancho’s departure on their terms, according to the Guardian.
Sancho is keen to join Chelsea in a remarkable deadline-day move from Manchester United in the coming hours.
Chelsea have been in talks with Manchester United and there are suggestions that the two clubs are closing in on a deal.
There is an expectation that the winger will join Chelsea on loan with an obligation but a final agreement is still not in place.
Negotiations are still ongoing between the two clubs but Manchester United are not desperate to get rid of Sancho yet.
It has been claimed that Manchester United are being tough negotiators led by new sporting director Dan Ashworth.
The Red Devils are only prepared to sanction Sancho’s departure to Chelsea on their terms.
They are comfortable with the England winger staying if a deal cannot be agreed upon with the Blues.
