JADON SANCHO could return to Manchester United next season – despite Chelsea having an obligation to buy the forward. The United winger, 24, is currently on a season-long loan at Stamford

Sancho was singled out by Manchester United minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Monday as the INEOS boss admitted the Red Devils had to pay off another chunk of Sancho’s £73m transfer fee this summer following his move from Dortmund.

Jadon Sancho could yet end up back at Manchester United this summer if Chelsea decide to back out of a permanent deal. The former Borussia Dortmund star joined the Blues on a season-long loan last summer after three disappointing seasons at Old Trafford.

Despite boasting a purchase obligation as part of their loan deal, Chelsea may not be obliged to sign Jadon Sancho after all, according to a report. The former England international joined the Blues last summer after being banished from Manchester United by Erik ten Hag.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has already guaranteed that Jadon Sancho will join Chelsea permanently this summer as new claims made. The news comes off the back of Chelsea beating Leicester City 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon in what was a vital three points in the race for Champions League spots.
