Jadon Sancho Leaves Manchester United After Five Years

United declined a one-year extension, leaving Sancho to depart as a free agent with reported interest from Borussia Dortmund.

Overview

  • Manchester United confirmed on Wednesday that Jadon Sancho will leave the club as a free agent when his contract expires.
  • Sancho spent 2025–26 on loan at Aston Villa and won the Europa League but scored just once in all competitions during that season.
  • He joined United from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021 for about €85m and made 83 appearances for the club, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists.
  • Sancho’s United career effectively ended after a public falling-out with then‑manager Erik ten Hag in August 2023 and three successive loan spells followed.
  • With United also releasing Tyrell Malacia and Casemiro this month, Sancho faces a market reset with reported Dortmund interest and likely options at mid‑table Premier League clubs.
