Jadon Sancho joined Manchester United in 2021, just weeks after Ole Gunnar Solskjær had signed a new long-term contract as manager. However, their working relationship was short-lived, as Solskjær was dismissed following a series of disappointing results only weeks later.
Sancho’s time at Old Trafford has since failed to meet expectations. Over the past two seasons, he has been out of favour and excluded from the club’s main plans. Manchester United are now determined to part ways with the winger on a permanent basis this summer, actively seeking clubs willing to take him on and relieve them of his wages.
Interest from Solskjær at Besiktas
----------------------------------
As Sancho continues his search for a new team, Solskjær, now managing Besiktas, reportedly made an approach to bring the winger to Turkiye. In recent months, the Norwegian coach has been targeting reinforcements from the Premier League to strengthen his squad. United are understood to be open to the move, viewing it as an opportunity to generate a transfer fee and remove Sancho’s salary from their books before the window closes.
According to [Nettavisen](https://www.nettavisen.no/sport/overgangsrykter), Sancho has declined the opportunity to join Besiktas, making it clear that he does not wish to move to Turkiye at this stage of his career. The player is said to believe he still has the quality to compete at a high level in one of Europe’s top five leagues and will instead focus on securing a move within those competitions.
Future Uncertain but Options Remain
-----------------------------------
Sancho’s stance means United must look elsewhere for a buyer willing to meet their terms. While his time at Old Trafford has been underwhelming, his reputation from earlier in his career and his potential to rediscover form could attract interest from clubs in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, or France. For Sancho, the coming weeks will be decisive in determining the next chapter of his career, with his priority clearly set on proving himself again at the highest level of European football.
