For a number of years, Manchester United had the worst transfer session of almost all the Premier League teams. Most of their big money signing have been super flops, which led to massive financial losses that the club are still going through. It is very difficult to find out at least one big money transfer in recent years that has been successful.
One of the worst transfers, not only in recent years but in the transfer history of Manchester United Football Club, was Jadon Sancho. The club brought him in from Borussia Dortmund back in 2021 for a reported fee of £73 million. He had an amazing record in Germany, and quite obviously, everybody expected him to become one of the most successful players in Manchester United history.
Update on Jadon Sancho to Aston Villa transfer
But surprisingly, Jadon Sancho turned out to be a massive flop for Manchester United, and he was so bad at the club that he lost his International spot too. After his first two seasons, he did not get much playing time either. At one point, Manchester United became desperate to offload him, but no team was willing to take him permanently.
Jadon Sancho signed for Aston Villa on loan
Last season, he was sent on loan to Chelsea, where he was not really that bad; however, the Blues were not willing to sign him permanently. This season, Manchester United tried their best to offload him forever. Some of the Italian clubs were interested in signing him, but Sancho was not willing to move to Italy.
Jadon Sancho's present Manchester United contract will end next season
Ultimately, Aston Villa decided to sign him on loan, and he will remain at the English club for the rest of this season. The biggest issue had been his wage, which is £300,000 per week and he was one of the highest paid players of the Red Devils. No team wanted to pay him that much wage, and Sancho did not want to compromise on his wage either.
Recent reports from Fabrizio Romano suggest that Aston Villa will pay 80% of his present wage, and Manchester United will have to bear the rest of his wage. Next year, his United contract will be over, and surely, the club will not be renewing his contract. He will have to find a new club next year, and there is a very fat chance that he would be given such a high wage at his new club.
