'I promise it won't work' – Jadon Sancho handed stark warning over Man Utd future

Ben Foster reckons it won't ever work for Jadon Sancho at Manchester United due to the "weight of the badge" that only some can carry.

Sancho has seemed to rediscover his best form back on loan at Borussia Dortmund, putting in the sort of performances that saw United fork out £73million to sign him from the Bundesliga club in 2021.

The 24-year-old impressed in both legs of Dortmund's Champions League semi-final triumph over PSG, progressing to the final where they'll face Real Madrid. His future past that date at Wembley remains uncertain.

There have been conflicting reports about whether he would want to return to Old Trafford, even if Erik ten Hag is sacked. And former Red Devils goalkeeper Foster can't see him making the comeback.

Speaking on his podcast Fozcast, he said: "There is certainly players that won’t fit in some clubs. And I think Manchester United, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I think it is the toughest club to play for in world football.

"I think that badge, as soon as you’ve got it on, is so heavy, it weighs so much that you could be technically gifted, you could be whatever, you can be world class, Jadon Sancho, but it won’t work for you. You put him in a Manchester United shirt, I promise you it just will not work for you."
