Overview
- TV footage showed Sancho striking an empty seat after being taken off during Aston Villa’s 2-1 Europa League win at FC Basel.
- On a season-long loan from Manchester United, the 25-year-old has largely started in Europe and is yet to record a goal or assist for Villa.
- Reports say Villa are open to reassessing or potentially ending the loan in January following renewed scrutiny of his role.
- Villa have an agreement to sign Gremio winger Alysson for about £10.5m, with a medical scheduled before a January move that adds competition out wide.
- Sancho’s United contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and his reaction drew criticism from supporters on social media as questions mount over his next step.
