Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United is under a cloud of uncertainty following a public clash with manager Erik ten Hag following the Red Devils’ 3-1 loss to Arsenal. The 23-year-old was omitted from the squad that traveled to north London due to his training performance, as explained by the head coach.

However, Sancho publicly contested these allegations, feeling unfairly depicted as a “scapegoat.” Ten Hag has previously demonstrated his assertiveness by sidelining Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, Sancho has limited options if he chooses to part ways with Old Trafford, which Express Sport has explored.

Premier League Loan

Sancho could seek a Premier League loan move if he’s willing to wait until January to secure a new club. He may attract considerable interest within the Premier League, with United likely open to his departure provided a reasonable loan fee is paid and his relationship with Ten Hag remains unrepaired. Crystal Palace, where he could compete for a left-wing role and return to his South London roots, may be an appealing option. United could also revisit negotiations with Chelsea, which proposed a swap deal involving Sancho in the summer. Tottenham, previously linked to the winger, might still be interested, although the signing of Brennan Johnson for £47.5 million could influence their decision.

Saudi Arabian Transfer

Should Sancho decide not to wait until January, his options may be limited to markets like Saudi Arabia and Turkey, where transfer windows remain open. Rio Ferdinand has suggested a move to the Middle East, where Sancho could join football luminaries like Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema while maintaining his high salary. Alternatively, he and the club might mutually agree to terminate his contract, allowing him to join another top European club despite transfer deadlines.

Return to Dortmund

A return to the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund could provide Sancho with a supportive environment following his public dispute with Ten Hag and ongoing struggles at Manchester United. Sky Sports Germany previously reported Dortmund’s interest in a loan move for Sancho. While he initially wanted to stay and fight for his place at United, his strained relationship with Ten Hag may make a Dortmund reunion more tempting. Sancho remains highly regarded at Signal Iduna Park, and a return to his former club could reignite his career.
