Manchester United are doing their utmost to get rid of their outcast contingent in the final days of the transfer window.
INEOS are indeed in a race against time to sanction the exits of Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho, who all seemingly have no desire themselves to move on and get their 2025/2026 campaigns started with new clubs.
Sancho, in particular, has left the board pulling their hair out over his ludicrous stance, which has seen him reject moves due to the sides not meeting his wage expectations.
It’s thought that that’s the reason Chelsea ultimately opted against signing him permanently upon the culmination of his loan spell; they’d held talks with the winger to try and negotiate a lower financial package than the one he’s grown accustomed to on his United contract, but an agreement was never reached, prompting the club to pay a £5m penalty and send him back to Old Trafford.
Jadon Sancho: The state of play this summer
Since then, Sancho has been linked with a host of suitors.
At one stage of the summer, it looked nailed on that he’d be joining Juventus, until they prioritised the signings of other targets and put their interest in the 25-year-old on the back burner.
He did have contact with AS Roma over the last couple of weeks to gauge how a switch to the Stadio Olimpico may look. However, Sancho then put a stop to the discussions and closed off the prospect of the move.
One side that is seen as something of a last resort to him is Besiktas — a transfer that would see him reunite with the manager who signed him for United: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Sancho is uninterested in joining the Turkish league as things stand, but will have no choice but to consider it in the very last days of the window.
Fabrizio Romano on Sancho
Of course, the prospect of the Englishman reviving his Red Devils career is completely off the table.
Fabrizio Romano shared his understanding of the situation on YouTube this week, telling viewers: “For Sancho, the message from United remains the same. No chance to retire in the squad. Sancho doesn’t even want to retire in the squad, so the relationship remains completely broken between Man United and Sancho.
“On the Roma deal, for Man United, it’s very clear. Man United would take the offer from Roma. It’s already been clear for more than one week. £20 million, a loan with an obligation for United is okay. United would take that money and let the player go.
“It’s the player who said no on Monday, and at the moment, the player is still not giving any different indication about that. If Sancho decides to reopen talks with Roma, we will be here to let you know in the next days. As of today, Sancho is still not accepting, not opening doors to a Roma move.
“So, let’s see what’s going to happen there, but Sancho remains one of the players who have to leave Manchester United in these final days of the summer transfer window, because the relationship with Manchester United is completely broken.”
If a player doesn’t perform, why can’t a team adjust his salary? Players now have all the freedom, while teams are held to ransom by contracts even if players don’t play. There should be a clause that stipulates after a certain number of games out of the squad, a player’s salary can be reduced or they can let him go without having to pay off the entire contract. That makes no sense. A player can run down his contract and leave for nothing and get an enormous signing on payment, but the team? At the moment they simply stand back helpless while agents and their players laugh. This has to change…
SPOT ON !!
I am quite certain that these type antics only happen at United because of the weak, uninvolved, and not so intelligent brass that sit at the top of their Heirarchy!! The ownership must change before better character players can be brought in!! Sancho, Grandcho, and Antony are of the same caliber character of the Glazers!! They are an exact reflection!! Milk The Club Until It Is Uselessly Dry!!
Agreed with the proposal.The player enjoy the fat salary even though not playing because he dont performed. Need to change the rule as proposed. Also he is choosing too much , must know his own standard by now and seem no other club like to loan or buy because of his attitude and character.Same to Ganarcho.
Garnacho isn’t the same as he hasn’t been offered to other clubs like Sancho has and Chelsea only want to get him on the cheap or they’d have paid a decent price for him and they have a bloated squad so would have to move players out to accommodate him and they’re hoping we’ll drop his price at the end of this window which we shouldn’t do
The player is equally killing his career by doing this and thinking that he is milking from the club and holding it to ransom, because no big club will ever want to sign him.

Honestly speaking
Sancho is a shameless clown stealing a living he knows no club will even pay him £1000.weekly now he wants to stay put what a parasite of a person is he not but blame the stupid United board that quic to offer players big wages let Sancho rot in the reserved
Should beva performance psyment salary or else any plsyer can do what sanchi does and that is nothing but pick up a salary
Sancho is not a footballer he’s a greedy little spoiled brat & if there’s any chance whatsoever of cutting his wages or cancelling his contract without paying him for his petcherlent behaviour surely we must take it especially because at the end of the day it’s the player himself that has caused all of the problems I would hope that the legal team are looking at every option and to be honest his behaviour is not going to convince anyone to sign him for the fear of him doing allover again if the fancy takes him
Sack him, he’s reneged on his contract.
He needs to get real with himself, and knock a couple of zeros off of his wage demands. I’ve seen Sunday league players better than this blagger. Who in their mind, thought it was a good idea , to pay him silly money in the first place?
Teams treat players like livestock, but when one stands up and demands his rights according to the terms of his contract it’s suddenly portrayed as a crisis caused by an ungrateful player. Both sides have rights that are specified in the contract; a player who expects the team to abide by the terms has a right to do so.

Clubs should have a clause in their contract same as any other business whereby the employer can sack the employee if he does not do his job properly. In a footballers case, being late to training refusing to play or not doing as the coach says.
Players do have to much power and unfortunately not enough skill. Gone are the days where a player would play hard for the club and not the money.
