Aston Villa agree deal to sign Jason Sancho on loan from Man United

Aston Villa are set to take Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho on loan; Man Utd hold the option of a further year on Sancho’s contract which is in its final year; it is understood that Villa will pay a loan fee and 80 per cent of the player’s wages.

Sancho has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford, with United having the option to extend for a further 12 months.

The 25-year-old, who was signed by United for £73m from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021, spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but returned to United after the west London club paid a £5m penalty to get out of their obligation to buy the player.

Should Sancho finalise his loan move to Villa, he would follow in Marcus Rashford’s footsteps after he spent the second half of last season on loan in the Midlands.
