Jadon Sancho ‘could make shock transfer to Chelsea in January’ as Man Utd look to offload exiled star
JADON SANCHO could turn to Chelsea in a bid to end his Manchester United exile, reports say.
The winger – who joined United from Borussia Dortmund for £73million in 2021 – has been frozen out of the squad.

It followed after a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag, who dropped Sancho before United’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal on September 3.
Sancho claimed he was being made a “scapegoat” by his manager after his performances in training were criticised in a post-match interview by the Dutchman.
Crisis talks took place as United chiefs tried to intervene to strike a peace deal but Sancho refused to apologise to Ten Hag for his explosive comments on social media.
With the forward still refusing to make amends to his boss, it looks as though his future in the red half of Manchester is over.
According to The Athletic, Sancho’s connections to London – where he grew up – make Chelsea a possible option.
The Blues were long linked with the England international until they were beaten in the transfer race by United.
But Chelsea did sign Cole Palmer in the summer while Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke all compete for places on the wing.
Juventus are another club linked with a move for Sancho.

Clubs from Turkey, Germany and Italy have also been tipped with an interest in him.
However, former side Dortmund have distanced themselves with a return for their old player.
Sancho has kept himself busy outside of training as he was pictured at a birthday party for basketball star John Wall in September.
He was seen at the Cirque Le Soir nightclub in London alongside Mike Tyson‘s son, Amir.
