Man United Unhappy As Sancho Rejects Roma

August 19, 2025 11:01 am

Manchester United’s bid to move on from Jadon Sancho has hit another setback. The 24-year-old winger has rejected the chance to join AS Roma, leaving United increasingly frustrated as they continue searching for a permanent solution.

The club had been hoping that Roma’s interest would bring a quick resolution and a £20 million transfer fee that could be reinvested before the close of the window. Instead, Sancho’s refusal has only added to the uncertainty around his future at Old Trafford—a saga that has lingered for nearly a year.

Sancho’s relationship with United has been strained ever since his public falling …

The match was ill-tempered even before it began. United, marshaled by Sir Alex Ferguson, were determined to stop the record run. Arsenal, …
