The 25-year-old, who was signed by United for £73m from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021, spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but returned to United after the west London club paid a £5m penalty to get out of their obligation to buy the player.
Sancho can follow Rashford blueprint at Villa
Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe:
"Marcus Rashford made the decision to leave Manchester United to work with Unai Emery - and he's now firmly back in the England picture and currently working alongside Lamine Yamal at Barcelona.
"Jadon Sancho's time in the Premier League has not gone to plan so far, but Emery knows a player when he sees one.
"It could be the perfect move for both the player and a team currently lacking a spark in the final third.
"Three goals and four assists in 31 appearances while on loan at Chelsea last season was a modest return, but it is difficult to carve a way into Enzo Maresca's bloated squad.
"At Villa, Sancho would have regular game time, European football and a manager who has regularly shown he can get the best out of players.
"A loan deal can help all parties. Sancho's long-term future, whether it is at Villa or another club, is a discussion for a later date."
Villa confirm Lindelof signing
Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof on a free transfer.
Lindelof was without a club after leaving Old Trafford at the end of his contract in June.
The Sweden international, who has been capped 71 times by his country, made 26 appearances for United across all competitions last season.
