“Here we go!”: Jadon Sancho set to join Aston Villa on loan from Man United | OneFootball

Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho is set to join Aston Villa on loan, the reliable Fabrizio Romano has confirmed

Sancho has been available for transfer all summer but a move has been delayed until deadline day. AS Roma lodged an offer for the player, which United were prepared to accept, but Sancho turned them down.

Turkish giants Besiktas also explored a swoop for Sancho but he also knocked back their approaches, insisting he was not interested in a transfer to Turkey.

The England international demonstrated an unwillingness to compromise on his extremely high wage demands, and this put off suitors.

On Sunday, a report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Sancho could seal a last-minute switch to Aston Villa. Unai Emery’s side were mentioned to be keen on the United outcast despite his struggles in the Premier League.

More recently, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Villa and United were in talks to try and strike a deal. Romano explained that Sancho was facing a swift decision: either seal a move to Aston Villa and remain in Europe, or risk the window closing and end up joining a club outside the continent.

Now, Romano has confirmed that a deal has been struck and Sancho will be a Villa player.

The Italian journalist wrote on X, “BREAKING: Jadon Sancho to Aston Villa, here we go! Deal in place on initial loan from Manchester United.”

“Green light from United and deal being sealed with formal steps to follow next.”

“Sancho will join Aston Villa.”

This information has been corroborated by David Ornstein who adds, “Aston Villa are on the verge of agreeing a loan deal for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.”

“An agreement club-to-club and with the player is close with only final details to sort.”

Sancho has made 83 appearances for the Red Devils since joining the club in the summer of 201 from Borussia Dortmund. His last match for United was the 2024 Community Shield defeat to Manchester City.
