Raheem Sterling would be open to joining Man United but the chances of that happening have subsided.
Manchester United held exporatory discussions with Chelsea about Sterling on Tuesday regarding a potential swap involving Jadon Sancho but well-placed sources say such a deal is now unlikely to materialise.
United have been wary of entering negotiations for a deal to sign Sterling as it could harm their profitability and sustainability calculations. Sterling is on a £325,000 weekly salary at Chelsea while Sancho earns around £250,000-a-week, which will have reduced following United's failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Sterling, 30, has been banished from the Chelsea squad and stripped of his squad number after he was left out of their squad for the opening weekend defeat to Manchester City. The winger's representatives released a statement on his behalf shortly before kick-off seeking "clarity" on his role under new coach Enzo Maresca. Sterling is under contract at Chelsea until 2027 while Sancho's United deal expires in 2026.
