Out Of Favor Manchester United Winger Shuns Saudi Arabia Transfer Move

In a last-minute twist before the transfer window deadline, Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has opted to remain at Old Trafford, dispelling rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia.

🚨 Jadon Sancho isn’t joining Saudi Pro League before transfer deadline tonight. 23yo admired but move not happening. Same applies for Mohamed Salah but #SPL interest in 31yo remains for future + good relations between all parties @TheAthleticFC #MUFC #LFC https://t.co/HLIohXmSna

Since his high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund back in 2021, Sancho’s tenure at the Manchester club has been marred by inconsistency, and Sunday’s developments only added to his challenges.

Sancho vehemently denied United manager Erik ten Hag’s assertion that his omission from the squad to face Arsenal was due to subpar training performances, labeling the claim as “completely untrue.”

Notably, the 23-year-old was conspicuously absent from United’s squad during Sunday’s Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium. In a post-match interview, Ten Hag clarified that Sancho was not sidelined due to injury, but rather based on his training displays.

Despite his undeniable talent, which he showcased during his tenure at Dortmund, Sancho has thus far struggled to find his rhythm at Old Trafford. Ten Hag now faces a delicate balancing act, as the player’s training form appears to be a significant factor in his selection process, regardless of his potential as a winger.
