Jadon Sancho Responds After Fan Calls Him 'Worst Signing in Man Utd History'

 In 2021, Jadon Sancho was one of the most highly coveted young players in world football. The Englishman had burst onto the scene with Borussia Dortmund a few years prior and managed to quickly establish himself as one of the best players in the Bundesliga, despite his tender years.

His form for Dortmund, which saw him score 53 times and record 67 assists in 158 games for the club, attracted the attention of Manchester United and he went on to sign for the Red Devils for a £73 million fee.

Just 21 years old at the time, Sancho arrived with a lofty reputation and he was expected to light up the Premier League. However, that has not been the case. Fast-forward four years and Sancho is almost certain to depart the club this summer following an unsuccessful loan spell at Chelsea.

The Englishman is one of five United players that have expressed their desire to leave the club this summer and is now training away from the rest of the squad in pre-season.

Jadon Sancho Called 'Worst Man United Signing Ever' by Fan

Sancho saw the post and has to respond

During his four years at Old Trafford, Sancho scored just 12 times and recorded six assists in 83 matches for the club. That is a very poor return for a player that cost £73m.

With the 25-year-old nearing the exit door at Old Trafford, a fan of the club has vented their frustration at how his United career panned out. Responding to one of Sancho's recent posts on Instagram, per SPORTbible, the supporter called him 'the worst signing in the greatest club's history' before adding 'you're a stain on the shade of red that we wear. Good riddance.'

Sancho saw the post and couldn't resist responding. The 25-year-old decided against saying anything rash and instead replied: "Have a good day bro."

Sancho Closing In On Move Away

The Englishman looks set to move to Italy

United have been desperate to get Sancho's wages off their books this summer. The Camberwell-born winger has just one-year remaining on his £250,000-per-week contract and they need to cash in or risk losing him for free next summer.

And, according to Football Italia, he could complete a move to Juventus in the coming weeks with United ready to lower their asking price. Sancho is eager to complete a switch to the Old Lady and it's been reported that United are willing to accept their £15m offer, a fraction of what the English club paid for him four years ago.

Transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà said of the deal, per CaughtOffside: "Negotiations are progressing well. The offer might already be enough. Sancho has once again reiterated his desire to wait for Juventus and has urged them to speed things up.

“Manchester United are cooperating and want to resolve the situation. They’ve already backed away from the original €25m evaluation. Of course, it’s not all offer, so caution is still needed but Juventus are picking up pace, heading straight toward Sancho.”
