JADON SANCHO COULD REJOIN UNITED IN JANUARY AMID CLAUSE TALKS
Jadon Sancho's loan at Aston Villa is off to a disappointing start, with no goals or assists. Sources reveal Villa will not make the move permanent unless his form improves dramatically, though he's expected to see out the season.

Jadon Sancho's lacklustre season debut has left Aston Villa dissatisfied.
Despite joining Aston Villa on a season-long loan in the summer, Sancho has not immediately made an impression in the Midlands.
Unai Emery places a high value on his performance; according to insiders who spoke to Football Insider, Aston Villa will not sign Sancho permanently unless he succeeds right away.
However, the Villa board will be extremely disappointed with the Englishman's loan stay thus far, since he has only made two starts across all competitions and has not contributed to any goals.
Despite continuing difficulties, Sancho is anticipated to finish his loan stint at Aston Villa.
The 25-year-old is unlikely to return to Manchester United before the end of his loan period, as I disclosed on the most recent episode of Football Insider's Inside Track podcast.
After Sancho's loan at Aston Villa ends, big European teams are still interested in signing him, according to sources who spoke to Football Insider. The Red Devils are eager to let him go permanently by next summer.
"I think he will see out the season at Villa," I said on the Inside Track podcast when discussing his need to improve under Emery to draw more transfer attention before the end of the season.
"I do not believe that the loan agreement contains a break clause that would let him to rejoin United in January. Jadon Sancho appears to be staying at Aston Villa for the remainder of the season.
"It is not ideal for any player to be substituted and then removed during the same game [against Man City on October 26]."
However, there is no denying that he has had difficulty contributing to the team. We are aware of Unai Emery's requirements.
Aston Villa's position on Ezri Konsa is unwavering.
Villa's highly-regarded centre-back Ezri Konsa is another Englishman who has been the subject of heated transfer rumours.
Mick Brown, a former senior scout for Manchester United, exclusively told Football Insider that Aston Villa will thwart Liverpool's attempts to sign Konsa.
Although Chelsea and Tottenham are reportedly interested as well, Aston Villa will never sell Konsa.
Success in the Premier League depends on the club having a solid spine, and the 28-year-old does not seem to be going anywhere.
BAYERN SPORTING CHIEF MAX EBERL BRUSHES OFF ONGOING CONCERNS OVER SQUAD SIZE
Bayern Munich's Max Eberl defends his squad strategy, dismissing burnout fears. He emphasises a smaller, injury-resilient roster and creating a pathway for youth talent as key to the club's philosophy.

Max Eberl, the sports board member for Bayern Munich, has had his work somewhat called into question following a somewhat rocky transfer window last summer. There have been rumours that his position has been in jeopardy because of the challenging task of putting together a competitive squad while also lowering the team's overall wage bills. The size of the roster has drawn criticism from both fans and critics due to the high expectations of a top-tier team like Bayern, particularly in the Champions League, and concerns about a potential burnout in the final weeks of the season.
Max Eberl, however, rejected this idea.
"I do not understand this argument. When long-term injured players Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Hiroki Itō return, our group will be slightly smaller at 25, but it will still be highly capable, Eberl told 11FREUNDE. We began the season with 22 players.
Eberl also talked about how the squad preparation process entailed looking at the players' injury histories, since the team's efforts had frequently been hindered by injuries in previous seasons: We also carefully considered our new players' injury histories during scouting. If some members of a large squad are continuously in rehab, what good is it?
Eberl concluded by underscoring Bayern's intention to allow young players to establish themselves in the starting lineup. Additionally, we wanted to create room for younger players. "Our club's philosophy is to succeed while incorporating young players," he said in closing.
BARCELONA COULD DEPLOY STAR IN SURPRISING NEW ROLE
With Pedri injured and Gavi out long-term, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick may deploy defender Eric García in a defensive midfield role. The Spaniard has played in midfield before, offering a creative solution.

After Blaugrana teammate Pedri's injury, Barcelona star Eric García might be moved back into the middle of the park.
Naturally, Spanish international Pedri just received a sentence that will keep him out of action for a while.
Earlier this week, following a series of standard medical examinations, a severe hamstring injury was found.
As a result, Pedri can be on the treatment table for up to two months.
After Gavi's most recent long-term setback, Hansi Flick may already be lacking choices in the midfield and will need to find innovative ways to bolster his engine room in the coming months.
A change of role for Eric García is one such proposal that has been suggested again in recent days.
Eric, a defender, has previously made several appearances on the field in a defensive midfield position.
It is hardly impossible that the former Manchester City player may soon be put to the test further forward after having such a strong start to the season, starting at both right-back and centre-back.
