AS Roma waiting for the green light from Manchester United to sign Jadon Sancho
Manchester United’s last season was nothing less than a nightmare. The team finished 15th in the Premier League, lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final and was eliminated from any European competition for the coming season. In such a situation, Jadon Sancho’s declining condition has further disappointed. At one time, he was considered the club’s hope, but now the 25-year-old right winger has proved to be a complete failure at Old Trafford, and there is no place left for him here, as the club have been ready to sell him for a lower fee right from the start of the summer.
In the summer transfer window, Manchester United have added new players like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diogo Leon, while the team have also tried to solve the striker problem by bringing Benjamin Sesko. However, in the meantime, Jadon Sancho’s case remains a headache for the team.
Latest reports on Jadon Sancho
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, AS Roma have offered him a contract, and they are still waiting for the Englishman’s response. United are clear on their side, and the club have agreed to a package worth around £20m, which includes an initial loan deal and a binding purchase.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s system could provide a better environment for a player like Sancho
The management want the deal to happen as quickly as possible, as Ruben Amorim needs space and budget for his new plans. However, the problem is that Sancho has not yet decided on what to do. This hesitation suggests that the 25-year-old is still weighing his options or perhaps is doubtful about leaving the Premier League. While United fans find the whole affair dragging and frustrating, they know that their club will no longer be able to make any use of the winger.
Should Sancho move to AS Roma?
The question now is whether Sancho is doing the right thing by delaying response to Roma’s offer, or should he accept it immediately. From a fan’s point of view, this hesitation is not good for his career. The 25-year-old’s United career has completely derailed after Dortmund. Serie A could be a new opportunity for him, where the pressure would be less and the style of play would be different. The delay shows the former Dortmund man’s weakness of indecisiveness, and if he had said yes immediately, it would have been the right move to revive his career.
What should United do?
Manchester United’s strategy must now be clear. The club must increase the pressure to get this deal done. Even if the fee has to be reduced a little, Amorim needs squad space and money to balance the wage bill. Sancho’s stay now will not benefit anyone, and the club must get out of this long-term situation.
Gasperini’s system and Sancho’s fit at Roma
Gian Piero Gasperini’s system could provide a better environment for a player like Sancho. He relies on aggressive wing-play and quick movements, which were Sancho’s hallmark at Dortmund. The way he has struggled in the Premier League, it is clear that England no longer suits what he can provide. Roma could be the chance for a fresh start, and if Sancho misses it, his career could go into further decline.
In our opinion, a move to Roma is the right move for Sancho, and United should complete the deal immediately so the club can focus on preparing for the new season rather than on a player who has already missed every chance to prove himself at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, there have been links brewing with Besiktas as well.
