How PSG could line up with Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho after epic Man Utd swap deal - The Mirror

PSG are rumoured to be plotting a stunning raid on Manchester United but the French giants may have to give up one of their prized assets to land their top targets from Old Trafford

PSG may be about to compensate for losing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid by launching a stunning raid on Manchester United.

Reports are gathering pace that the French giants are eyeing up Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and even Marcus Rashford as they look to reinvent their side following Mbappe's departure.

According to L'Equipe, the United captain has become a serious target this summer while rumours are swirling that Sancho has agreed on personal terms and there is talk that the Ligue 1 side will reignite their interest in Rashford.

Any transfer ambush on United would leave Luis Enrique's PSG team in a strong position to launch an assault on their domestic league and the Champions League next season.

However, if PSG want to land the United trinity then there could be a reality where they have to send midfielder Manuel Ugarte the other way. There has been talk of the Uruguayan midfielder becoming United's third signing of the summer, however after deals for Joshua Zrikzee from Bologna and Lenny Yoro from Lille, their transfer pot may be running on the empty side meaning a sensational swap deal for Ugarte in return for a United stars could be on the cards.

To raise money for Ugarte, who is valued at around £59million by PSG, United are open to offers for Victor Lindelof, Casemiro and Scott McTominay, and are also hoping to earn extra change for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Nevertheless, a move for the 23-year-old Uruguayan international could become more straightforward should United willingly surrender one of their top talents to PSG in what would surely be one of the most momentous swap deals in recent times.

However, Enrique's epic rebuild may have to go ahead without Rashford with the striker reportedly ready to fight for his place at United. The deals for Fernandes and Sancho could be more realistic though, and it was back in May that the Red Devils captain sent shivers down the spines of many a United fan saying: "The club needs to want me".

On his future, Fernandes clarified his stance adding: "I feel the club wants me to be a part of the future. As I said always, I don't want to be a player that the club doesn't want to have. If for some reason they don't want to have me, I will go. But if they want me, I will stay.‌"

As per L'Equipe, the French giants 'really appreciate' Fernandes' talents as they look to fill the huge void left by Mbappe. However, United boss Ten Hag has been adamant that he wants his captain to remain at Old Trafford branding him a "tremendously important player".

Sancho, who is back at United after spending the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund is a top target for PSG and the deal could even be moving toward the latter stages. After making an impact for the Germans during his second stint with last season's Champions League finalists, there have been suggestions that Sancho will be given a chance at Old Trafford after making up with Erik ten Hag following their public falling out.

The 24-year-old made his first United appearance in almost a year when he featured in the friendly victory against Rangers last weekend but a chance to be the main man at PSG may be an offer the winger can't refuse. PSG's latest interest in Rashford comes via talkSPORT after the French champions made the 26-year-old a priority. It's believed that Enqrique's side have been long admirers of the forward, but with Rashford's stunning contract at United rumoured to be around £325,000 a week, there could be a major financial stumbling block should PSG try and seal the deal. For a team that already includes a host of stars, the proposition of securing the United captain alone, let alone two other stars is a mouth-watering prospect for PSG fans. The French champions currently have the likes of Italian shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Brazilian veteran Marquinhos, young talent Warren Zaire-Emery and renowned full-back Achraf Hakimi on their books meaning the arrivals of the three United players would certainly make PSG a feared proposition across the continent next season.

PSG's dream XI next season: Donnarumma, Nunes, Beraldo, Marquinhos, Hakimi, Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Fernandes, Sancho, Dembele, Rashford.
