Man Utd faced with painful Jadon Sancho decision amid ‘fresh interest’ from Premier League rivals
Jadon Sancho could be one player to leave Manchester United this summer, and there is reportedly fresh interest.
Sancho joined United for more than £70milllion two years ago, but he has failed to fully convince since arriving at Old Trafford. The 23-year-old’s output just hasn’t matched up to his fee so far, with the winger scoring seven and assisting three last season despite racking up as many as 41 appearances across all competitions.

Ten Hag managed to improve United significantly in the season just gone, securing a top four finish and a Carabao Cup win. But the Red Devils will be expected to get closer to the title race next season while also putting together a solid run in the Champions League.
New signings and fine-tuning will be required this summer for United to make that jump, and a number of players are likely to be moved on. Sancho is said to be one of them, and Football Insider claim there is fresh interest from Aston Villa, who are looking for a winger ahead of their return to Europe next season.
It’s claimed Tottenham are not interested despite reports claiming otherwise, and that Villa are keen to make a move as they look to improve Unai Emery’s squad. But United are said to be demanding as much as £60million for Sancho, keen not to lose too much money, and it’s claimed no side is currently willing to meet that demand. United may need to slash around £10million off that price tag if they want to offload Sancho this summer, but they will be acutely aware that move would cost them more than £20million.
