Out-of-favour Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has reportedly given the green light to a move to Fenerbahce.
The Briton is looking for a new club after a fraught four-year stay at Old Trafford, during which he suffered a public and acrimonious falling out with former manager Erik ten Hag.

He spent last season on loan at Chelsea and hoped to make the move permanent, but talks broke down as the player was unwilling to waver from his lofty wages.
Napoli had shown an interest in taking him on, providing the chance for him to reunite with former United teammate Scott McTominay, but also found his wages to be a stumbling block.
Sancho could now be set for a move to Turkey, though, having reportedly agreed personal terms with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
The 28-time Turkish champions are in the market for a new winger after former Newcastle man Allan Saint-Maximin returned to Al-Ahli following an uninspiring loan spell.
Turkish outlet Sabah claim the agreed contract is worth £8.5million per year, or roughly £163,000 per week.
Fenerbahce have now turned their attention to negotiating with United, lodging a £15m bid, slightly shy of United’s reported £17m asking price.
Sancho showed flashes of his undeniable talent at Chelsea last season but struggled in front of goal throughout his loan spell, tallying five goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances. He scored the Blues’ fourth in the Conference League final win over Real Betis.
He has now returned to United’s Carrington training ground, but is set to miss out on the club’s preseason tour of the United States should he fail to find a move before they fly out.
