Jadon Sancho`s potential return to Manchester United is being questioned by some influential players within the team, sources suggest.
This comes amid speculation that Chelsea might not proceed with a permanent deal for Sancho after his loan spell concludes.
It`s reported that some United players felt Sancho struggled with the demands of playing for such a high-profile club.
Senior figures in the Manchester United dressing room reportedly have reservations about Sancho`s ability to handle the pressures at the club, according to sources.
Their concerns are not about his personality, but rather about his work ethic, which was questioned before his exclusion from the squad by Erik ten Hag last season.
Sancho was removed from the Manchester United squad in September 2023 after manager Ten Hag indicated his training levels had dropped.
Following a public disagreement over these claims, Sancho was loaned to Borussia Dortmund in January.
This season, Sancho, now 25, joined Chelsea on loan. Despite a promising start, his performances have become inconsistent.
Despite only scoring twice this season and struggling to win over fans, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has publicly praised Sancho`s performances, stating, “he is doing very well for me.”
Sancho`s loan to Chelsea included an option for a permanent transfer, with a fee expected to be in the region of £20-25 million.
However, reports suggest there is a clause allowing Chelsea to end the agreement and send Sancho back to United for a £5 million fee.
Chelsea has not yet decided on Sancho`s long-term future, and the player himself may be open to another move to revive his career.
Sancho`s move to Manchester United, initially seen as a dream, quickly turned sour after disagreements with the manager.
In his time at Manchester United, he has scored just 12 goals in 83 appearances.
Currently, Sancho`s future is uncertain, as he is not wanted back at Manchester United and is yet to secure a permanent place at Chelsea.
There are reports linking him with a possible return to Borussia Dortmund, where he previously excelled after moving from Manchester City`s youth system in 2017.
