West Ham United plot deal for ‘incredible’ Jadon Sancho, Man United want to sell him
West Ham are monitoring the situation of Jadon Sancho as Manchester United are looking to sell him, according to 90min.
The news outlet reported on its website on Tuesday (24 October) that the Red Devils would consider allowing the 23-year-old winger to leave on a long-term loan deal, but that they would prefer a permanent move following his public fallout with Erik ten Hag.
It said the England international, who Neymar previously referred to as an “incredible player”, would prefer a move back to Borussia Dortmund as a deal with another Premier League club is considered to be “more difficult”.
Tricky situation
This is an extremely tricky situation after Sancho fell out with Ten Hag in September on the back of the Man United manager publicly criticising the winger’s training levels and him responding angrily to the claims on social media.
He has now been banished from working with the rest of the first team and looks unlikely to play at Old Trafford again while the Dutchman is in charge.
The Red Devils have proved difficult to work with in the past, so West Ham have to weigh up whether it’s worth trying to sign the Englishman.
They are likely to want him to move back abroad in order to not strengthen a rival Premier League club, with a switch back to Dortmund looking like his most likely destination.
Although he would certainly add quality to our side, it feels like this deal could be more hassle than it’s worth as it’s unlikely we’d be able to reach an agreement for him.
