Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is off to Aston Villa, with the two clubs agreeing on transfer deadline day.
Sancho has been unsettled at Manchester United for some time now, not only exiled under Ruben Amorim but also under his predecessor Erik ten Hag.
Sancho had a loan spell at Chelsea which, all things considered, went well. The Englishman was playing football again, so when the Blues offered him a contract and he turned it down, it came as a surprise.
Sancho then had many offers throughout the window, including from the likes of Roma – but nothing materialised due to his wage demands.
Now, despite plenty of interest during the window, it appears Aston Villa is his next destination.
