Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly eyeing up a move for a trio of Manchester United players, with Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Donny van de Beek all of interest.

United have endured a topsy-turvy start to the Premier League campaign, although their convincing 3-0 victory over Everton at the weekend has moved them within four points of the top four.

However, Erik ten Hag’s side have already lost five times in the Premier League and currently sit bottom of their Champions League group.

In addition, he has struggled with injuries to key players and a disharmonious dressing room, with a number of rifts emerging between the Dutch manager and members of his squad.

Sancho has not played for the club since his public falling out with Ten Hag in September, while the 53-year-old was recently forced to deny a breakdown in his relationship with Varane.

Interest in both players from several clubs has been reported, but Tuttomercatoweb are now suggesting that Juventus are looking at both players as well as a move for another out-of-favour United player, Van de Beek.

A deal for Sancho would likely be a loan without an option to buy, with the Bianconeri covering part of the Englishman’s salary.

The Italian club may face competition for the signature of both Sancho and Varane, with clubs in Saudi Arabia reportedly keen to go back in for the former in January.

Varane, meanwhile, has attracted interest from Bayern Munich, with the German club said to be looking at a £25million deal for the French centre-back.

Van de Beek has played just three minutes of league football this season and has tumbled even further down the pecking order following the summer arrivals of Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat.

The 26-year-old has failed to make an impact since his move from Ajax in 2020 and recently suggested in an interview that he may look to leave Old Trafford in January.
