😂 Bizarre free-agent twist: tenth-tier side deny Sancho rumours | OneFootball

It probably won’t get any wilder today: Jadon Sancho is currently without a club, as we know, after his time at United didn’t go as hoped. 

To stay fit, Sancho recently used the facilities of English tenth-tier amateur club Flixton FC. In Germany, this level roughly corresponds to the Kreisliga A. 

A video in which he praised the amateur club’s infrastructure then caused quite a stir. In the clip, he said: “You’ve got a really nice setup here. It’s my first time in this area, and it’s also the first time that I’ve seen such a good pitch [in this region] apart from United and City.”

Could the 26-year-old pro now be more or less hanging up his career and only playing in amateur football?

Because of these rumors, the club now felt compelled to publish a statement to clarify the real reason for the visit:

“Jadon was neither on trial with us nor were there any kind of transfer talks. He simply used our facilities for a private training session to maintain his fitness while preparing for the next chapter of his career.”

In the text published on ‘Instagram,’ Flixton owner Christopher Garcia also praised Sancho’s professionalism, approachability, and down-to-earth nature. He said Sancho is a “world-class footballer” who has achieved more in the sport than most players could ever dream of, and that he deserves respect for his success.

All well and good — but it’s still kind of funny that a tenth-tier club feels forced to deny transfer rumors about someone who was still playing in the Premier League last season.

What do you think? Where will Sancho go next, and above all: can he get his career, which has taken a real knock, back on the right track? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
