  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Manchester United's Sancho has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer with Chelsea one of the clubs keen on securing his services. However, former United striker Saha has advised the Blues against signing the winger as he feels that will be a "bad piece of business" on their part.

• WHAT LOUIS SAHA SAID

  Speaking to Betfred, the former France international said: "That’s going to be a really bad piece of business, for sure, because it’s really hard to see how it can work due to all the other young attacking players already at Chelsea.

  "I don’t see why he would be excited to go there and I don’t see him going to Chelsea anyway, but I could be wrong. There’s still space for him on Manchester United’s team, but the manager may want to sell him. I do understand though that Jadon’s looking for a solution to find first-team football elsewhere."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Saha also shared his opinion on the Red Devils being linked with a move for Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling as he clearly stated that the England international does not "fit the bill" at Old Trafford due to his age.

  The 46-year-old continued: "He’s a great player and I don’t understand why he’s in the situation he’s in at Chelsea. I don’t really understand Chelsea at all. Due to his age, I don’t see Raheem fitting the bill for Manchester United. I know that we need to find that extra flair, but I would prefer to see Marcus Rashford in top form rather than signing another player in the same position. I don’t see the benefits of that situation. I’d prefer to see an attacking midfielder, which is what Jadon Sancho is."

  WHAT NEXT?

  As reported by BBC's Simon Stone, United will only let Sancho leave in this window if it is to be a permanent sale or as a loan with an obligation to buy. Sterling, on the other hand, will try and sort out his contract situation with the Blues before initiating talks with other clubs.
