Manchester United have confirmed that striker Jadon Sancho has joined Chelsea on loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
Sancho did not feature in either of Man Utd’s opening two Premier League games despite featuring heavily in pre-season after returning from a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.
The England international was heavily linked with a number of high-profile moves over the summer, including Juventus, Bayern Munich and another return from Dortmund.
In the end, it was Chelsea who won the race for his signature, completing a deal just in time before the close of the summer transfer window.
