Manchester United are said to have held talks over terminating the contract of Jadon Sancho.
The English winger is subject to disciplinary action from the club's manager Erik ten Hag at present.
Sancho, who refused to apologise to Ten Hag despite calling him a liar on social media, is training away from the first team.
Per Sky Sports, United will be more ruthless with contract situations in the future.
INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe is taking sporting control as he buys 25 percent of the club.
The source adds that United may even terminate Sancho's contract if he is not sold in January.
