Manchester United target Alex Sandro ‘agrees to join PSG’ as Juventus defender seeks exit

MANCHESTER UNITED face a potential blow in their bid to bring Alex Sandro to Old Trafford, with the defender angling for a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

The Brazilian left-back, 27, had a dip in form at the start of last term, but recovered as the season went on.

Juve lost defender Dani Alves to PSG last summer, while Leonardo Bonucci made the switch to AC Milan.

But the Old Lady have had cause to celebrate the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in a £99million deal.

The club will need to recoup some of those funds and the sale of Sandro could plug any deficit.

And the player has struck up a contractual agreement with PSG, according to , but that has not been confirmed.

As SunSport reported exclusively on Sunday, United boss Mourinho intends to give Luke Shaw a second chance at United.

But with the prospect of Sandro on the market, it may tempt the Portuguese to try one last time to tempt him to Old Trafford.

United face Club America, San Jose Earthquakes, AC Milan, Liverpool and Real Madrid on their pre-season tour of the United States.

After landing yesterday, Mourinho faces confusion over Alexis Sanchez's situation, with the Chilean missing the trip out to the West Coast with a visa problem.
