Jadon Sancho is failing to meet expectations whilst on loan at Chelsea.
After falling out with Erik ten Hag, Jadon Sancho knew he had no future at Manchester United before he signed for Chelsea on loan.
United have been trying to sell Sancho since January 2024 when the club had to settle for a loan to Borussia Dortmund.
Sancho showed occasional flashes of brilliance for the Bundesliga outfit, even reaching the Champions League final, but there were no outright buyers for Sancho when his loan deal expired in the summer.
A deal was eventually struck with Chelsea as United agreed to loan the player with an obligation to buy.
The obligation is believed to be worth £25 million and they must follow through with it unless they finish 15th or lower in the Premier League.

These figures suggest Chelsea will be regretting their decision to sign Sancho on loan with an obligation.
It has turned out to be good business for United event though they won’t recoup half of the money they paid to sign Sancho in 2021.
Sancho would make Ruben Amorim’s problems worse
It doesn’t help that back at Old Trafford, United’s forward players are struggling in front of goal.
Rasmus Hojlund has failed to score in his last 19 matches for United and Joshua Zirkzee has just six goals across all competitions in his debut season.
Another player struggling in front of goal is Alejandro Garnacho, who has been unable to find the back of the net in the last 22 games.
United suffered several injury setbacks last month, but at least Amorim hopes to have Amad Diallo back before the end of the season.
Amad has been a huge loss in terms of providing a threat in the final third. United have less firepower in attack without the Ivorian on the pitch.

Jadon Sancho stats this season
Sancho’s stats suggest he would only add to Amorim’s problems at Old Trafford. Ineos will be looking forward to receiving £25m for his signature this summer.
