This is one of Manchester United’s most ink-intensive deals as they spent more than two summer transfer sessions to get the signature of the English winger. The amount of money spent to receive the nod from Borussia Dortmund was about 74 million pounds, however, Jadon Sancho did not show commensurate value.

Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pleaded to recruit the striker who was then playing for Borussia Dortmund after witnessing what he showed for the team north of the Rhine and thought that Sancho could follow in the footsteps of David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo. “inherit” the number 7 shirt. But things did not go exactly as the Norwegian strategist expected.

In his first season, the former Manchester City player showed an unimpressive appearance with only 3 goals and 3 assists after 29 rounds in the Premier League. However, fans believe that this is the first season and Sancho needs time to adapt.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to his “old home” only 1 month after the English striker joined Man Utd, made him no longer the center of attention. Besides, a notable detail is that Edinson Cavani previously refused to give up his number 7 shirt to his junior, forcing him to choose number 25.

But then the Uruguayan striker proactively gave it to Cristiano Ronaldo voluntarily, which certainly made Jadon Sancho feel unhappy from the first days of joining the team. This is also shown on the field when everyone must play around the Portuguese striker and create every opportunity for him to score.

The “hidden conflicts” between Ronaldo and Sancho can be seen when the MU legend proposed to coach Ralf Rangnick that he needed a partner with a more team-playing style than Sancho, however, the current coach of The Austrian team rejected this proposal.

After having a shocking interview with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese striker criticized his junior’s training attitude and lack of professionalism. Only now do people admit that the Red Devils’ dressing room always lives in a situation of “rice is not good, soup is not sweet”.

At the beginning of the 2023/2024 season, Jadon Sancho continuously had to come off the bench and when asked about the reason, Ten Hag frankly shared that the former Dortmund player did not try hard in training, then He went to social network X and criticized his teacher.

This causes the “prodigy” of English football to be pushed down to train with the youth team and is looking for a way to escape Old Trafford this January. With 12 goals in 82 matches, it can be easily affirmed that this is a failed contract for the Red Devils.

The 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest could have been Jadon Sancho’s last in a Manchester United shirt. However, everything can turn around if he performs well for Borussia Dortmund and coach Erik Ten Hag is fired during that time.
