Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has been handed double embarrassment

From the high of winning a European trophy, to the disappointment of failing to agree terms with Chelsea.

Jadon Sancho will not be joining Chelsea on a permanent transfer, which means the Blues will now pay a £5million penalty charge to Manchester United to break the agreement.

It's unprecedented for a club to pay £5m to break their obligation agreement and the ordeal is embarrassing for Sancho, whose career has sadly nosedived over the last few years.

Sancho was an England international and one of the most exciting players in Europe when he arrived at Old Trafford. His decline began after signing for Manchester United and he failed to arrest his slump at Chelsea.

The London-born lad scored in 4-1 victory against Real Betis in the Conference League final and will argue his loan was a success. Sancho will point to scoring in that game and his winner's medal. It's also important to note the move has collapsed due to Chelsea not being willing to meet his wage demands.

That doesn't necessarily mean Chelsea don't want Sancho, but it does mean they don't believe he is worth the salary, and maybe that wouldn't have been an issue if he'd performed better.

Sancho's contribution of five goals and 10 assists has been deemed not good enough for the wages he wants and Chelsea are set to move on to Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund.

The first reason is that Gittens has leapfrogged Sancho, despite having been years behind him.

Dortmund visited Leigh Sports Village to play United Under-19s in March 2022 and won on penalties, but a 16-year-old Gittens scored a
