Man Utd could see Jadon Sancho return to Old Trafford next summer because of a strange clause in his transfer to Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The England international spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund after claiming on social media that he had been made a “scapegoat” following criticism from Erik ten Hag.
Winger Sancho, who cost £72m when he joined from Dortmund in July 2021, has not played for the Red Devils since a 3-2 home win over Nottingham Forest last August.
It is understood Sancho reflected on past issues, and both men agreed to draw a line under the situation and move on.
However, after being left out of the Man Utd squads for the first two Premier League matches of the season against Fulham and Brighton it became clear that he would only play a small part for Ten Hag this term.
When asked on Friday, , about Sancho s future, Ten Hag replied: As far as I know, I expect him to stay, yeah.
The Dutchman added: We are happy with him. We need a good squad. We have to play many games until January. After the break we play every third day so we need options.
But just hours later he was on his way to Chelsea in a loan deal with an obligation for the Blues to buy. However, Romano has revealed that it is not quite that simple.
The transfer expert revealed in a social media post on Saturday morning that Sancho could return to Man Utd if Chelsea fail to finish in the top 14 in the Premier League this season.
Revealing the bizarre clause, : Jadon Sancho, Chelsea and Man Utd signed all docs in time as deal is 100% done. Loan with obligation to buy guaranteed, formally if CFC will finish among first 14 position in PL table. Fee starts from £20m guaranteed up to £25m in add-ons based on performances.
