Man Utd offered free agent wingers with Jadon Sancho's future uncertain

Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign wingers Anwar El Ghazi and Oussama Idrissi due to the uncertainty surrounding the futures of Antony and Jadon Sancho, 90min understands.

United have instructed their scouting department to assess potential options in case they decide they do need to add another body to their squad.

The Red Devils are being offered a number of options by various agents and intermediaries, and one of those is Netherlands international El Ghazi. He spent three years in England with Aston Villa and Everton, while his contract at PSV Eindhoven was terminated at the start of September.

90min understands other options are being assessed by United, including Morocco's Idrissi. The 27-year-old, who finished last season on loan from Sevilla at eventual Dutch champions Feyenoord, has previously worked under Erik ten Hag having spent the second half of the 2020/21 season at Ajax.

Both El Ghazi and Idrissi are in talks over potential moves to clubs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

It remains to be seen if United will make a move for another winger as they continue to assess the situations of Antony and Sancho.

Antony is currently back in his native Brazil, with United's permission, as he looks to resolve allegations of assault from three different women. He will not be involved in first-team activities until the club are satisfied with the situation.

Sancho's involvement in the short-term is also far from clear. Ten Hag dropped the England international from the matchday squad ahead to face Arsenal and confirmed this was due to issues with his training.

Sancho reacted angrily with a statement via social media, and the fact that post remains pinned atop of his X account suggests that he is not willing to back down. 90min understands that United have been far from impressed that the statement had remained on view.

As 90min confirmed on Monday, Sancho met with Ten Hag to discuss these issues.

Since being dropped, United held talks about selling Sancho to Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ettifaq ahead of their transfer window closing last week, but a move did not materialise.
