Sancho Faces Another Low Point
Jadon Sancho once again found himself in unwanted headlines after being subbed on and then subbed off in Aston Villa’s 1-0 victory over Manchester City. While Villa celebrated a huge win, Sancho stormed off the pitch in frustration, marking another career low for the 25-year-old winger.
Manchester United, however, are quietly relieved — Sancho’s struggles are now Aston Villa’s problem for the season.

No Way Out for Aston Villa
Following the incident, former Villa scout Brian King publicly suggested that the club should consider terminating Sancho’s loan. “If he doesn’t improve soon, Villa should cancel the deal,” King said. Unfortunately for Villa, the loan contract has no early termination clause — meaning they can’t send him back, and United can’t recall him either.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the loan runs until the end of the season, with Villa covering 85% of Sancho’s wages, potentially saving United around £9 million. That financial relief gives United a small reason to smile.

Ratcliffe’s Smart Move Pays Off
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly thankful for two key decisions — first, ensuring Villa can’t “return” Sancho midseason; and second, not triggering Sancho’s one-year contract extension. With his current deal expiring next summer, United are leaning toward letting him leave for free rather than paying another year of his £250,000-a-week wages.
So far, Sancho hasn’t started a single Premier League match for Villa and has made little impact. 12BET Malaysia analysts note that his attitude issues have followed him through every club — from Pep Guardiola’s City to Erik ten Hag’s United and now Unai Emery’s Villa.

A Costly Fall from Grace
Once a £73 million signing from Borussia Dortmund, Sancho is now viewed as one of the most expensive flops in football. Manchester United’s management will revisit his contract decision later this season, depending on his performance. But given his current form, it seems unlikely the club will extend his stay.
