Jadon Sancho’s Stint at Manchester United
Jadon Sancho’s career after joining Manchester United was closely monitored by the football experts and pundits. Sancho joined United for a transfer move worth £73m from Borrusia Dortmund in 2021 on a 5-year agreement. Fans had high hopes for him since regarded as a rising English star in Germany.
However, Sancho has not been able to replicate the same repertoire of skill and exciting performances at Old Trafford as he did at Signal Iduna Park. Marred by match fitness and injuries, one must feel for the player given his high ceiling of potential. The numbers are witness on their own. In 137 games for Dortmund, his output was a whopping 50 goals and 64 assists. Compare these numbers to his time with the Red Devils, 12 goals and 6 assists in 82 games till now.
Further, especially in Sancho’s case, managers have backed him even when he is seemingly struggling. But this current fiasco between the player and the manager suggests that the English boy is another who might have a fallout with the Dutch manager after Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sancho’s career at Manchester United is still uncertain. But the fans will hope to uncover the full truth about the situation in the coming days.
