‘Man United must accept Saudi offer for Jadon Sancho’ – fans explode
Man United fans are all but unanimous in their reaction to a major update regarding Jadon Sancho’s future at the club.
Sancho joined the Blues on deadline day last summer from Manchester United in a loan deal that included an obligation-to-buy, triggered by certain performance-related incentives.
However, Chelsea have the option to pay a £5 million fee to cancel the loan arrangement for Sancho altogether, or they can activate the clause to complete a permanent transfer for £25 million.
The England international had a rotational role during the latter stages of the season but produced a standout display in the Conference League final against Real Betis, playing a key part in Chelsea’s victory.
That performance sparked a wave of Chelsea supporters urging the club to keep Sancho permanently, though questions over his future have persisted.
Now, a fresh update has brought some clarity to the situation and the Man United faithful have reacted in anger.
Jadon Sancho set to leave Chelsea after breakdown in personal terms negotiations
David Ornstein of The Athletic reported on X that Sancho will leave Chelsea when his loan deal expires on 30 June, after the two parties failed to agree on personal terms for a permanent move.
He added that Chelsea will now pay United a £5 million fee to cancel the obligation-to-buy clause, with Sancho now exploring other options ahead of the summer window.
The 25-year-old made 42 appearances for the Blues this season. While he scored just five goals, he provided 10 assists in just over 2,400 minutes across all competitions.
Former Manchester City financial advisor Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Sancho is among five players Man United are actively looking to sell this summer. However, Chelsea’s decision not to pursue a permanent deal comes as a setback for United’s transfer plans.
Man United fans demand Jadon Sancho sale instead of return
The winger’s relationship with Man United supporters has been strained since his departure, particularly after Sancho made a controversial comment on Marcus Rashford’s Instagram post, hinting he had found “freedom” after leaving Old Trafford.
That remark did not sit well with fans, many of whom called for disciplinary action at the time, arguing that Sancho should not be speaking out publicly while still under contract.
Now, with the Englishman set to return, fans have been vocal once again, making it clear they don’t want to see him in a United shirt.
One supporter reacted tot he news with: “Definitely not welcome in Carrington” while another added: “Don’t let him come back to United.”
