United's Bold Exit: Cutting Ties with the Jadon Sancho Saga
19 February 2026
The Red Devils' flop record continues.
Jadon Sancho, one of Manchester United's 2021 investments, turned out disastrous.
The Red Devils spent 85 million euros on the Englishman, plus a lucrative contract, only to see him endure a string of unsuccessful loans to Dortmund, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
Despite featuring for Aston Villa, the Englishman is far from the level he showed during his Dortmund spell, having played 25 matches, scoring one goal and one assist.
According to The Sun, United decided to cut their losses and end his spell there when his contract expires on June 30.
The Red Devils refuse to extend his deal by another year to ease the sale, even if it means a much lower price.
His United contract ends at the season's end, with a club option to extend for another year; the Red Devils would let him leave for free to shed a 200,000‑pound weekly wage, talks.
Punchline 1: That contract is so big, even my calculator files for bankruptcy.
Punchline 2: Sancho’s exit might finally prove that sometimes the best loan is a one-way ticket back to reality.
