Jadon Sancho time at Manchester United
Jadon Sancho’s arrival from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021 has been underwhelming. The player’s off-the-pitch conduct has also been a concern. A past disagreement with Erik ten Hag reportedly sealed his fate at Old Trafford. The player has spent the last 18 months on loan spells.
The English international previously had a loan spell with Chelsea. During that time, he scored five goals and provided ten assists in 41 appearances. Despite his return to Manchester United, his market value remains high. He is now close to joining Aston Villa on loan.
Aston Villa’s pursuit of attacking reinforcements
Aston Villa’s pursuit of Jadon Sancho makes sense given their need for attacking reinforcements. Unai Emery requested the club to fill the void left by departing loanees. While Evann Guessand has joined from OGC Nice, Aston Villa desired another attacking option.
Aston Villa also explored re-signing Marco Asensio. However, the Paris Saint-Germain forward is nearing a move to Fenerbahce. As a result, Sancho emerged as a viable alternative. Aston Villa and Manchester United quickly negotiated a deal.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the season-long loan move. Aston Villa will pay a loan fee and cover 80% of the player’s wages. Manchester United are likely to extend the English playmaker’s contract, which has 12 months remaining. Further details on this transfer are expected to emerge.
