According to TeamTalk, there are strong indications that Manchester United's Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek are nearing a January move to Juventus.

Sancho, who has been excluded from the team following a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, may find a way out of Old Trafford after posting a controversial social media message.

Meanwhile, Van de Beek, who has struggled to establish himself since joining from Ajax in 2020, has faced limited game time due to a knee injury and has made just two appearances this season.

Sancho, with three appearances and a total of 76 minutes of play this season, could be subject to a permanent deal with Juventus costing around £30 million.

On the other hand, Juventus is reportedly considering a loan deal for Van de Beek, who is under contract with Manchester United until 2026. The Dutch midfielder had nearly moved to Real Sociedad on loan in the summer, but the deal fell through.

Raphael Varane, another Manchester United player, is also on Juventus's radar. Varane, having fallen down the pecking order, has made 12 appearances this season, scoring one goal. However, with Lindelof, Maguire, and Evans preferred ahead of him, a potential move to Juventus seems plausible.

In a separate report, Donny van de Beek hinted at a January departure from Manchester United, expressing eagerness to play regularly. The midfielder, who has struggled for playing time at United, spoke about being ambitious and enjoying his work.

Van de Beek, having made only 62 appearances for the Red Devils since his £39 million move from Ajax, suggested that if he doesn't get the desired game time at United, he would seek opportunities elsewhere.

With a crowded midfield at Manchester United, including players like Christian Eriksen, Sofyan Amrabat, Mason Mount, and emerging talent Kobbie Mainoo, Van de Beek's potential move away from Old Trafford aligns with his ambition to play regularly and relish the game.
