Jadon Sancho set to remain at Manchester United despite interest from Saudi Arabia
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is set to stay at the club, despite interest from Saudi Arabia. On Sunday, Sancho took aim at Erik ten Hag when he released a statement on Twitter to hit back at the Dutchman’s claims that he was dropped against Arsenal for his performances in training. Sancho’s statement has thrown his future at the club into doubt, and clubs in Saudi Arabia have shown interest in him over the last 48 hours.
Transfer Window Closes in Saudi Arabia
The transfer window closes in the region on Thursday night, which leaves very little time for a fee to be agreed. Al Ettifaq had floated the idea of a loan deal but the Athletic say United are not interested in any deal.
Ten Hag and Sancho to Discuss Sunday’s Saga
Though Ten Hag and Sancho are yet to discuss Sunday’s saga, the Dutchman will hold face-to-face talks with the winger this week to mend the situation. With uncertainty over Antony’s future and Amad Diallo injured, United may need Sancho over the coming months.
Sancho Earns £250,000-a-Week
Sancho earns around £250,000-a-week, which would deter most clubs in the world. The winger’s stock has fallen dramatically in the last 24 months, with Sancho missing out on England’s World Cup squad in December.
Conclusion
It appears that Jadon Sancho is set to remain at Manchester United despite interest from Saudi Arabia. With the transfer window closing in the region on Thursday night, it appears that there is not enough time for a fee to be agreed. Ten Hag and Sancho are yet to discuss Sunday’s saga, but they will hold face-to-face talks this week to mend the situation. With uncertainty over Antony’s future and Amad Diallo injured, United may need Sancho over the coming months.
