Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain but there also seems to be interest in Nico Williams and it might be a bit early to know for sure who they’re going to make a priority in that position anyway.
That’s according to French football expert Jonathan Johnson, who has once again provided his transfer insights to CaughtOffside as part of his Daily Briefing column, with the journalist explaining that PSG have not yet made an offer to Man Utd for Sancho as they focus on other positions.
Sancho is back at United this summer after a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, where he impressed, particularly against PSG in the Champions League.

With Sancho, though, it will be interesting to see if PSG actually put an offer on Manchester United’s table for him. Obviously for now Sancho and Erik ten Hag seem to have agreed to forget what’s gone on in the past and focus on the future, so there could be a way for Sancho to stay there and rebuild his career at Old Trafford.
“PSG got a close look at Sancho, though, in their Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund last season, so they’ve seen…
