After 2 months of peace with Ten Hag, Sancho says goodbye to United for good
Jadon Sancho ‘s time at Manchester United has come to an end . Despite two months of peace with Ten Hag and the two having spoken out about last year’s controversies, the striker is leaving Old Trafford.
Sancho was dropped from the squad due to arguments with Ten Hag and was transferred to Borussia Dortmund at the start of the year. He returned to the Red Devils during pre-season.
Sancho leaves Manchester United
On the last day of the transfer window, Chelsea and Manchester United intensified negotiations involving Sancho . In the final moments of the market, the clubs closed the deal, as revealed by Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues had sent two loan proposals to United . The Old Trafford club agreed to loan the striker until the end of the season, but with a mandatory purchase option.
At the end of the 2024/25 season, according to the “Daily Mail”, Chelsea will pay less than 40 million pounds (R$ 294.4 million) to Manchester United . Fabrizio Romano completes the information by saying that the values are around 25 million pounds (R$ 184 million).
At the end of the loan period, the striker will sign a long-term contract with Chelsea , but the length of the deal has not been disclosed.
Sancho had agreed personal terms with the Blues, leaving only the agreement between the clubs to be finalised.
The troubled relationship between Sancho and Ten Hag
A product of Manchester City , the English striker rose to international prominence with Borussia Dortmund. In 2021, he joined United for £73 million.
Since then, the player has struggled to live up to the investment made in his signing. The situation at the club worsened last year. The relationship between the striker and Ten Hag was not the best. The trigger was being left out of the game against Arsenal last season.
At the time, Ten Hag said that Sancho ‘s performance in training was not up to standard. “I will not allow people to say things that are completely false,” the player responded on social media.
The coach removed the player, who began training separately from the squad. At the beginning of the year, he was loaned to Borussia Dortmund . Upon returning to England, he met with Ten Hag and was reinstated to the squad , even participating in pre-season, but only played one official game, in the derby against City for the Community Shield.
