Manchester United have confirmed Jadon Sancho will leave the club as a free agent following the expiration of his contract at the end of this month.
Sancho, a £75m signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, has spent the majority of the last three seasons out on loan.
After being frozen out of United's squad following a disagreement with former head coach Erik ten Hag in September 2023, Sancho spent the second half of 2023-24 on loan at his former club Dortmund, making 21 appearances and scoring three goals.
He then spent 2024-25 with Chelsea, providing 13 goal involvements (five goals, eight assists) in 41 matches and helping the Blues win the Conference League trophy.
Chelsea did not exercise an option to make his stay permanent, though, and he spent 2025-26 at Aston Villa, making 39 appearances as they finished fourth in the Premier League and won the Europa League.
However, Villa boss Unai Emery was non-committal when asked about the prospect of a permanent deal for Sancho, who was never considered likely to get a new deal at United.
His departure, along with that of Tyrell Malacia, was confirmed when the Red Devils released their retained list on Wednesday, after they had already announced Casemiro's exit several months in advance.
Sancho has been linked with a permanent return to Dortmund, who finished a distant second in the Bundesliga in 2025-26 behind Bayern Munich.
By coming off the bench in Villa's Europa League final victory over Freiburg, Sancho became the first player to ever appear in three European finals, in different competitions, in consecutive seasons.
He was part of the Dortmund team that lost to Real Madrid in the 2023-24 Champions League showpiece, prior to his triumphs with Chelsea and Villa.
In addition, his only goal for Villa came in a Europa League group-stage meeting with Fenerbahce in January.
He has scored in each of the last eight seasons of major UEFA competitions since 2018-19, with Harry Kane and Phil Foden the only other Englishmen to achieve that feat.
Sancho is also one of two English players to score for four different teams in major European competitions (Dortmund, United, Chelsea, Villa), after Peter Crouch did so for Liverpool, Portsmouth, Tottenham and Stoke City.

They signed him for £75m and released him for free. They sold Garnacho for us for £40m and now we are selling him for £40m and pay them £4m as the 10% agreed on his future transfer fee. Now some foolish United fans shouting they duped us for just £4m when we sold finished Mount for them for £65m…….I’m tired of their stupidity.
Which club, right now is willing to pay you 40m? Dey play,keep dreaming 😴🤣🤣🤣

Bro, easy. That's business for you. Nobody can predict market. At least Mount is more efficient in Manchester United than Garnacho irrespective of his injuries.

Theatre of dream killers. This guy was shining at Dortmund
Who was Hojlund and Zerzik before coming to Manchester United? Who were they? Di Maria was a personal issue with coach that caused him to leave, not Manchester United. And, as for Cavani, his contract was expired because of his age Manchester United did not want to renewed it? And again, where did he go to and flourished after he left Manchester United? Age was his major challenge then. So, speak like a football fan not as a rival.

Tell that to United fans! It’s not all about talent but discipline You bought Coutinho how much? 130m Griezmann how much ? 120m Should I continue? How much did you made from them? It can happen to any club and some times it’s not all about talent but discipline. They (Sancho and Rashford) thinks they are way above the club that gave them platform to shine. United can also keep him and treat him like they did to Sancho and his career will sink completely. Imagine Messi left Barca after not wanting to sign a contract of 500k weekly and then goes to PSG to accept 300k just to play for them, won’t Barca feel betrayed?? That’s how United feel about him now so whatever Barca does to him is what he deserves
Well said bro

so why did United kick him out and gave away his number lol ,if he is so good accept him back immediately and don't look back, you should be thanking Barca for reviving his confidence back bro , you paid how much for Sancho now he is leaving for free , take what Barca is offering for Rasford or just accept him bank ,putting him on the bench rather than accepting what Barca has to offer is even more wicked than Barca so stop the capping bro lol

28years is a football’s peak and United we get better amount from another club. Barca just did a huge mistake. Paying 80m for who Rashford outperformed and then find it very difficult to pay 30m. That’s ridiculous but I also blame Rashford for throwing himself to Barca that way, also accepted to take paycut. Mind you 28years is the particular age any footballer goes for bumper contract because that’s the highest peak with bulk experience
