Manchester United plans to sell Jadon Sancho this summer for about £40 million.
The 24-year-old winger was loaned to Borussia Dortmund in the latter part of the 2023-2024 season following a spat with boss Erik ten Hag in September. Now, he is unwilling to return to Old Trafford again.
Borussia Dortmund, Sancho’s parent club, has expressed a desire to sign the winger on a permanent basis again.
Yet the ability to match Manchester United’s asking price has remained uncertain. Despite his fine form on loan, the Red Devils are steadfast in their desire to sell the attacker. This has also been confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Erik ten Hag is, for now, Manchester United’s boss, despite immense pressure after a disappointing eighth-place Premier League finish. However, his success in delivering FA Cup glory has ensured his status.
Though, the Ten Hag show might roll on, with Roberto De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino as part of the new rumors. Anyways, whatever manager is hired to look after them, Jadon Sancho will be leaving Manchester United.

Jadon Sancho is moving permanently after having a disappointing period with Manchester United compared to his standout years at Borussia Dortmund.
It was initially hoped that he would be the man to plug United’s gaping hole on the right flank, but his move from Dortmund in 2021 still cost a hefty £78 million.
Sancho currently has an Expected Transfer Value of £32 million, while his contract with Manchester United is valid until 2026.
The sale of Sancho is one of the most decisive moves for Manchester United while trying to restructure their team during the summer.
The club is also expected to do business at a fee of £40 million and gain back the invested sum quickly.
The departure of Sancho will feel less like an inconvenience because of wider spaces for the newcomers.
