Chelsea are considering making a bid for Manchester United’s out-of-favor player Jadon Sancho before the transfer window closes.
It has been another summer of significant changes at Stamford Bridge, with Enzo Maresca replacing Mauricio Pochettino as manager, followed by another wave of new signings.
On Sunday, the revamped team showed a glimpse of their potential under their new manager with a commanding 6-2 victory over Wolves.
Despite Noni Madueke scoring his first Premier League hat-trick, Chelsea might still look to add another winger before the transfer window shuts.
Meanwhile, Sancho’s future at Manchester United is once again uncertain after being left out of the squad for Saturday’s defeat to Brighton.
Last year, Sancho had a falling out with Erik ten Hag, which led to a successful loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.
He was reintegrated into the team over the summer after apologizing for his behavior….

To tempt United into a deal, Chelsea is reportedly willing to include one of two players in a potential swap.
England internationals Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling are not seen as key players in Maresca’s plans and could address needs in United’s squad.
Luke Shaw’s injury has left United short at left-back, while Sancho’s departure would force Ten Hag to rely on Diallo, young talent Alejandro Garnacho, and the struggling Marcus Rashford for wide positions.
With Sterling already sidelined, Maresca also seems prepared to proceed without Mykhailo Mudryk, who was substituted at halftime against Wolves.
‘Because I was not happy,’ Maresca said bluntly when asked why Mudryk was hooked at the interval.
‘I think in some moments we can manage some situations better. He was working very hard off the ball and that was very good. But in terms of on the ball, I expect a bit more quality from Misha.
‘For me, he had some good moments the other day and some good moments today and the reason why was just because we needed to change and give Pedro [Neto] some minutes.’
