Manchester United: Emerging star extremely close to a move away on a temporary basis
The youngster has recently penned a new deal with the club.
As Ole Gunnar Solskjaer targets Europa League triumph, Manchester United are working behind the scenes to start their summer transfer business. Despite Jadon Sancho deal in doldrums, there are a few discussions over several other targets.
In terms of departure, Andreas Pereira, suddenly, has cropped up as a likely candidate to start the exit streak at the Old Trafford club this summer. Academy graduate Tahith Chong is close to securing a loan move away to Werder Bremen.
Chong, who stalled contract renewal talks, agreed to extend his stay with Man United after Solskjaer promised consistent playing minutes, whether at Old Trafford or via a loan move. The Dutch youth international’s current deal runs till 2022 with an option to elongate by a further campaign.

Sensing an opportunity, Werder Bremen had initiated dialogues with Man United representatives to discuss a loan deal for Tahith Chong. After a delayed round of dialogues, both clubs seem to have agreed to a 12-month deal, contrary to the German club’s wish of a two-year stay.
Bremen have tried to conclude this deal hastily, considering the situation around Milot Rashica, close to a move away from Die Werderaner, whom Borussia Dortmund have identified as a potential candidate to replace Jadon Sancho. More recently, Aston Villa have made their approach, too.
