Manchester United started their new season with a defeat against their arch-rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield final. Despite taking the lead in the game, the Red Devils finished the match as the second-best, as City won their first community shield after losing three years running. Now, another massive piece of news coming out for the United fans. Chelsea are interested in signing 24-year-old Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho on a swap deal.
According to the news published by Daily Star, Chelsea are eager to get Jadon Sancho of Machester United in the team as a loan player, before making the permanent move in the future. However, the Blues are also interested in a swap deal to get the English international. Chelsea are willing to offer two young players and additional money to sign Jadon Sancho. Still, no offer has been made for Sancho from Chelsea, the possibility are still there for a possible move.
Will Sancho be able to become the starter under Erik Ten Hag?
Jadon Sancho spent the second half of the last season with his former club Borussia Dortmund after the relationship between Jadon Sancho and Erik Ten Hag drastically deteriorated in the first half of the previous season. But the 24-year-old showed his class in Germany with Dortmund and helped them to reach the final of the Champions League. Because of his stunning performance with Dortmund lots of rumors have been going on about his leave from United.
But last month Erik Ten Hag nulled all the speculations and told the media that he is ready to work with Jadon Sancho. Except for the first pre-season match, Sancho was featured in all the remaining matches in the pre-season. However, he was on the bench in the community shield final. He was involved in the penalty shootout for United after coming off the bench later in the match. But the English international failed to give Manchester United the lead from the 12 yards.
Will Jadon Sancho leave Manchester United for Chelsea?
Now, the question is whether Jadon Sancho left Manchester United to join Chelsea or not. However, things are going well between the United manager Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho right now and both are eager to look forward to the upcoming premier league season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are eager to sign the Manchester United man. The Blues have already signed ten new players in this summer transfer window and spent more than 200M this summer. So, if Sancho leaves Manchester United to join Chelsea, he will be the 11th player who joins the Blues this summer. On the other side, the Red Devils signed four new players this summer by spending more than 150M. Manchester United have options for the right-wing side including young Amd Diallo, who started last two games for the Red Devils. Apart from Diallo, United also have Anthony, Garnacho, and Jadon Sancho. So, Sancho might be used as a substitute under Eric Ten Hag if he stays at Old Trafford this season.
