There’s plenty of noise and speculation around
Old Trafford, and one of the loudest rumors centers on
Jadon Sancho. The English winger is said to be ready to slash £200,000 off his weekly wages just to leave
Manchester United. That’s not exactly what you’d expect from a player who arrived in 2021 with a massive price tag and sky-high expectations.
Right now,
Manchester United face a dilemma.
Sancho isn’t part of Erik ten Hag’s plans, and his market value has dropped sharply. The club is reportedly asking around £25 million for his transfer—a figure that’s less than half of what they paid three years ago
. Juventus has emerged as a possible destination, although the numbers remain vague. One thing’s clear: Sancho wants minutes, and United is open to letting go.
A complicated relationship between Manchester United and Sancho
What’s striking in all this is that Sancho isn’t even ruling out a loan move. According to
Sportskeeda, if a permanent deal doesn’t happen, he’d accept a temporary switch to reignite his career. His recent loan spell at
Chelsea didn’t exactly turn heads. To truly bounce back,
Jadon Sancho needs consistent playing time—and that’s something
Manchester United just isn’t offering at the moment.
There’s also talk of tension between Sancho and Manchester United. Since his arrival, expectations have always exceeded reality. Injuries, tactical shifts, and a rocky relationship with the coaching staff have all shaped a turbulent stay at the club.
A busy summer ahead
With a contract running until 2026, this summer could be the defining moment for both sides. For Manchester United, it’s sell now or risk watching a valuable asset lose more market value. The club needs liquidity—and perhaps just as urgently, closure. And Jadon Sancho seems more than ready to write his own ending.
In the coming weeks, we’ll see if Juventus can crunch the numbers and get the deal done, or if another club steps up with fewer doubts and more room on the wings. For now, the real headline isn’t that Sancho wants to leave Manchester United. It’s that he’s willing to lose money to make it happen.
