The Gunners have been offered Man United star Jadon Sancho

Arsenal lost star striker Robin van Persie to Manchester United more than a decade ago.

The transfer proved crucial for the Red Devils as the striker guided them to a Premier League title in his first season at Old Trafford.

However, Arsenal have been presented with the opportunity to get the upper hand on Manchester United this summer by being offered the chance to sign Jadon Sancho.

The Red Devils are desperate to offload the England winger, who has fallen out of favour with Man United boss Erik ten Hag.

The two had a public feud last season, which led to the player leaving Old Trafford in January for a loan move to Borussia Dortmund.

TeamTalk reports that the Red Devils have invited Arsenal and a few other teams to attempt to sign Sancho this summer as part of their efforts to get him to leave the club permanently.

Ten Hag should give Sancho another chance, according to technical director Jason Wilcox, according to the report.

However, the Red Devils want to let the player go because there is no truce between the player and the coach.

United are said to be willing to accept a £40m offer for the player, a significant loss on their investment.

In addition, they are willing to lend it provided that the contract includes a purchase obligation.

Manchester United winger can bring quality to Arsenal

Sancho showed at Dortmund last season that he can perform better in a favorable environment.

He helped the German club reach the Champions League final by being one of their best players.

The Gunners are looking to add depth to their wider areas this summer and Sancho is available at a bargain price.

Mikel Arteta has shown how he can improve the standard of players and a move to the Emirates Stadium could revive Sancho’s footballing career.
