Jadon Sancho, 25, is returning to the Premier League on loan after a season with Chelsea in which he made 42 appearances and helped win the UEFA Conference League. Chelsea paid to cancel an obligation-to-buy estimated at £5m, returning Sancho to Manchester United. Ruben Amorim and the United coaching team have deemed Sancho surplus to requirements, with training separation and transfer rumours to Turkey and Italy failing over wage demands. Manchester United have given permission for a move to Aston Villa, with terms close to finalisation and Sancho expected to join Unai Emery's squad.
Sancho, 25, made 42 appearances for Chelsea last season, helping Enzo Maresca's side win the UEFA Conference League. The former Borussia Dortmund man was then sent back to Old Trafford, with the Blues paying to cancel their obligation-to-buy agreement, estimated at a fee of 5m. But even after a rocky summer for Sancho, another new club has now snapped up his services.
After a torrid spell at Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim is the latest manager to overlook Sancho. Surplus to requirements, the England international has been part of the 'bomb squad' at Carrington. Rumours of a move to Turkey and Italy failed to materialise over wage demands, but finally, it appears as if Manchester United have a temporary solution to solve the Sancho dilemma.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Sancho is now closing in on signing for Premier League side Aston Villa. The Red Devils have given the ex-Dortmund man permission to join Unai Emery's side, with the terms set to be finalised. Sancho scored five times and registered 10 assists in all competitions for the Blues last season, including in the 4-1 UEFA Conference League final success over Real Betis.
