Sancho, Pogba, Lukaku - Manchester United's biggest transfer regrets since Sir Alex Ferguson
11.01.2024 - 21:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Jadon Sancho is one of the club's biggest transfer failures ever as he departs for Borussia Dortmund on loan.
The Reds bought Sancho from the Bundesliga club in 2021 for a fee of £73m. At the time, the 23-year-old was heralded as a good buy for the club having impressed at Dortmund since making the switch from Manchester City.
However, Sancho never properly settled in the red half of Manchester. During the 2022/23 season, the winger spent time out of the playing squad for personal reasons and when he returned he seemed rejuvenated.
Erik ten Hag experimented in pre-season with playing Sancho centrally but we never witnessed whether this tactic could work for the entirety of the campaign after a public fallout in September. After the United manager criticised the forward's training performances, Sancho took the opportunity to slam Ten Hag on social media and branded himself as a 'scapegoat'.
While the post was eventually deleted, Sancho's refusal to apologise to his manager meant he was exiled for the past four months. The 23-year-old is highly unlikely to play for the club ever again and will end his time with just 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances.
In his role as a brand ambassador for Paddy Power, Saha did not hold back with his criticism of the Englishman. He explained: "Jadon Sancho is one of Manchester United’s biggest transfer failures – you can’t have that type of quality sidelined because of his mindset.
