Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho could still return to Manchester United at the end of the season, according to reports.
The i Paper claim that the Blues are “considering” whether to pay a penalty fee to rip up the obligation to buy the 24-year-old this summer
At this moment in time, Sancho is on loan at Stamford Bridge and the move will become permanent on July 1st, with his current club set to pay £25m. However, there are question marks about his form and there is a chance that he could be sent back to Old Trafford. Understandably, fans on X are not keen on the player returning:

How have things got to this point with Sancho?
The England international’s time at Chelsea started brightly, having provided assists in his first three league appearances.
After a quiet period, Sancho then scored in consecutive matches against Southampton and Tottenham in December but he has failed to do much in front of goal since then. That has led to the Blues reconsidering whether they want to keep the player for the long term.
United don’t want him back
The i Paper report that the Red Devils will still try to sell Sancho if Chelsea opt against signing the forward on a permanent basis.
He is not part of Ruben Amorim’s plans and the club would aim to raise as much money as possible from his departure to put towards new signings.
