Jadon Sancho has not been with the club since his contract at Old Trafford expired, but it looks like the former Manchester United man may not be out of work for too long.

Jadon Sancho has been given the chance to complete a sensational move to Qatar after receiving a contract offer from Al Rayyan. The former £85million man has not been with the club since leaving Manchester United when his contract expired.
Sancho, 26, has been looking for new employment ever since, but with little luck. But now it looks like he has been given a new chance to restart his career in the Middle East.
According to France’s Futto Mercato, Qatari side Al Rayyan have offered him a contract on a free transfer. They want the English wideman to be the star of their project to dominate domestic football.
It has not been made clear whether Sancho is currently interested in a move, but it appears he is close to signing a new club. The winger has also been linked with a return to German side Borussia Dortmund. Sancho had enjoyed a productive spell in the Bundesliga with a big-money move to Old Trafford.
Since then, Sancho has spent time on loan at his former club Chelsea and Aston Villa. He has had mixed success with temporary employers, with Chelsea choosing not to sign him permanently despite agreeing a buy-out clause with United.
Scoring just five goals at Stamford Bridge, Sancho only got on the scoresheet once during his time at Villa Park.
Last season, Dortmund’s managing director Lars Ricken indicated he was interested in signing Sancho for a third time. “We are currently observing and analyzing a number of players,” Ricken said.
“We are assessing whether they can improve the team. We are doing the same with Jadon. Of course we are looking for attacking players who bring quality, who can help immediately and who do not require an unrealistic transfer fee.”

Former Premier League manager Alan Pardew also revealed what managers will consider when considering a move for Sancho.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “He hasn’t achieved enough to justify a big contract like he had at Man United, but I think he would make a good move.”
“As we approach the end of the season, it’s an opportunity and we have to make very tough decisions about who we renegotiate with, because obviously there is value to the football club.
“Actually, as a manager you might want them to leave, but the club has a financial stake in them and would like to get their money back and re-sign for another year. Let’s see if we can move him on. It’ll be good for you for a year.” You have to have all those kinds of discussions. ”
