In anticipation of January, Manchester United are making arrangements for the potential departures of Jadon Sancho and Facundo Pellistri.

Villarreal are eager to secure the signing of Manchester United’s talented winger Facundo Pellistri, according to reports. The La Liga club is hoping to bring the 22-year-old to Spain on a permanent deal. Pellistri, who has had loan spells with Alaves, has struggled to establish himself at Old Trafford and Villarreal sees this as an opportunity to bolster their squad. The Sun states that Villarreal have reignited their interest in the Uruguayan international and are optimistic about completing the transfer this month.

Meanwhile, it seems that Jadon Sancho’s time at Manchester United is nearing its end. The Mirror reports that the winger is set to return to his former club Borussia Dortmund on loan for the remainder of the season. Sancho has been out of favor at Old Trafford since a public falling out with manager Erik ten Hag. The 23-year-old was not included in United’s squad for their recent defeat to Arsenal due to his performance in training. It was widely expected that Sancho would leave in January, and now a deal has been agreed for him to rejoin Dortmund.

In another transfer news, Jordan Henderson is reportedly eager to make a shock return to the Premier League. The Daily Mail states that the former Liverpool midfielder has struggled to settle in Saudi Arabia since completing a £12 million transfer to Al Ettifaq last summer. Henderson is said to be considering any offers the club receives this month. However, returning to England before completing two years of his contract would result in a significant tax bill for the England international.

Lastly, Wolverhampton Wanderers are eyeing a loan move for West Ham’s Danny Ings. The Premier League side is aiming for a net-zero transfer window and hopes to secure temporary signings to comply with financial fair play regulations. Wolves are closely monitoring their finances to avoid breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules. The Telegraph reports that Wolves’ manager, Gary O’Neil, is keen to bring in a striker and a winger, with Ings emerging as a potential target. The club is cautious after Everton received a 10-point deduction in December, and they want to avoid facing similar consequences.
