Premier League side to battle Juventus for Manchester United star Jadon Sancho - Reports
An unnamed Premier League team is reportedly in the fray for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho. The Englishman spent the second half of last season on loan at his former club Borussia Dortmund.
Sancho, 24, fell out of favour with United boss Erik ten Hag following a public outburst. He himself to be a scapegoat in a now-deleted tweet after the manager had said that Sancho didn't play the 3-1 Premier League defeat at Arsenal due to his poor attitude in training.
With an apology not forthcoming, Sancho was ostracised from the first-team environment and sent out on loan to Dortmund, where he contributed three goals and as many assists in 21 games across competitions.
Now back at his former club, Sancho doesn't seem to have a future at Old Trafford. Old Juve reported interest from Juventus. Now, as per UtdDistrict (via Alfredo Pedulla), an unnamed Premier League and La Liga side have entered the fray.
As per Transfermarkt, Sancho's market value is €30 million, with United reportedly paying more than three times that amount (€100 million) to snap him up from BvB in the summer of 2021.
How has Jadon Sancho fared for Manchester United?
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho hasn't hit the ground running since his arrival from BvB three years ago. In 82 games across competitions, he has contributed only 12 goals and six assists.
In his debut season at Old Trafford in 2021-22, Sancho bagged five goals and three assists in 38 games across competitions. Three of those goals and all the assists came in 29 games in the Premier League.
In his next season - first under current boss Ten Hag - the Englishman played 41 times across competitions, contributing seven goals and three assists. Most of those goal contributions - six goals and three assists in 26 games - came in the league, where the Red Devils finished third to return to the UEFA Champions League.
However, last season, Sancho appeared only three times for United - all from the bench - accumulating a cumulative 76 minutes (all in the league) before he went on loan to BvB in the winter.
