A bold move. Jadon Sancho's fate at Manchester United revealed

Sancho is set to become a free agent soon.

Details: According to Fabrizio Romano in a recent interview, the Manchester United board has decided not to activate the contract extension option for 26-year-old winger Jadon Sancho.

It is reported that Sancho's current deal with the Red Devils runs until the end of this season. However, there is a clause allowing the club to extend his contract for another year, but Manchester have chosen not to exercise it.

This means it's now official: Sancho will become a free agent in just two months.

This decision by Manchester United comes as a surprise, given that Sancho was signed for €100 million from Borussia Dortmund back in 2021. Now, rumors are swirling in the media that Sancho could make a return to Dortmund this summer.

This season, Sancho is playing for Aston Villa on loan.
