Manchester United are trying to finalise the terms of Jadon Sancho's loan move back to Borussia Dortmund.
However, there are contractual and financial issues around the deal that still require tidying up.
The 23-year-old winger completed a £73m move to Old Trafford from Dortmund in July 2021.
However, he has not played for United since 26 August after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag and has been training away from the first team since September.
The relationship between Sancho and Ten Hag hit the rocks after the England international was omitted from the squad for September's defeat at Arsenal, with the Dutchman stating it was due to his performance in training.
