A potential PSG move could be the fresh start Jadon Sancho needs

Jadon Sancho.
Jadon Sancho spent the second half of last season with former club Borussia Dortmund. He helped the Black and Yellow to reach the Champions League final, where they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid. Sancho has since returned to Manchester United, where he has reportedly buried the hatchet with Erik ten Hag.
Sancho's return to the North West of England may not last long, though. According to Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato, PSG are interested in acquiring the 24-year-old.
The former Manchester City player had also particularly shone on the European scene, like his double against PSG during the semi-finals of the competition," Aouna reported. "Performances that have not gone unnoticed by the Parisian management, determined to take advantage of his sparkling technique...After seeing his Manchester adventure turn sour and finding some success across the Rhine, Jadon Sancho could finally give a new direction to his career by joining Ligue 1 and the reigning French champions."
After missing out on England's journey to the European Championship final this summer, Sancho will undoubtedly be looking to get his career back on track. His reputation took a hit when his fallout with Ten Hag became public, and United shipped him out on loan.
Moving to the Parc des Princes would allow Sancho to continue his development away from the spotlight of the English media. It shouldn't be overlooked that he quickly rediscovered his best form once playing in the Bundesliga.
Sancho's tenure in Manchester hasn't gone to plan. While his skill is unquestionable, his fit within a troubled club has been difficult, especially as his role on the wing has consistently changed.
PSG is more settled in terms of leadership and having a clear plan. Sancho would have the chance to compete for championships and be part of a re-tooling process that is seeing the club build with young talent, with the Champions League still their primary focus.
United could potentially consider a transfer for Sancho ahead of the new season. INEOS is already making moves in the market, and the club needs to raise funds if it wants to continue adding fresh talent ahead of the new season.
Sancho could be the makeweight that gives United the spending power it needs to finish the summer strong.
