Manchester United release statement regarding Jadon Sancho’s Chelsea transfer
Manchester United have confirmed forward Jadon Sancho has joined Chelsea on loan for the rest of the 2024/25 season.
Sancho failed to feature in either of Man Utd’s opening two Premier League games despite featuring heavily in pre-season after returning from a loan at Borussia Dortmund.
The England international was heavily linked with a number of high-profile moves throughout the summer, including Juventus, Bayern Munich and another Dortmund return.
In the end, it was Chelsea who won the race for his signature, completing a deal just in time before the closure of the summer transfer window.
