href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/manchester-united-given-new-hope-of-offloading-jadon-sancho-after-positive-talks-on-wednesday\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Juventus are chasing Jadon Sancho<\/a> and seemingly offered up Luiz in an exchange for the United winger.<\/p>\n<p>A deal hasn\u2019t advanced yet, but reports claim that <a

for talks, while boss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/jose-mourinho\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jose Mourinho<\/a> is prepared to try and personally convince Luiz to join.<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho wants to discuss the Fenerbahce project with Luiz and tempt him into making the move to T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Douglas Luiz makes sense for Manchester United<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>United will surely watch Luiz\u2019s situation closely, and may be ready to challenge former boss Mourinho.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian has not enjoyed his time in Turin, failing to make an impression after joining Juve from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>Juve may well be open to a loan with option to buy, which would certainly suit United\u2019s reported transfer plan.<\/p>\n<p>Luiz also has plenty of Premier League experience with Villa, and he would be a strong fit to play in a midfield two in Amorim\u2019s 3-4-2-1 system.<\/p>\n<p>United may need some more players to move on in order to strike another incoming deal, but taking Luiz on loan for the season \u2013\u00a0and frustrating Mourinho in the process \u2013 would certainly help Amorim\u2019s options in the middle.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United have been linked with a move to sign Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, but Jose Mourinho
