Jadon Sancho shares surprising snap with fellow members of Man Utd's 'bomb squad' amid transfer frustration

Sancho and teammates Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Lisandro Martinez were full of smiles in the photo, posted on Instagram, despite the fact that their respective futures at Old Trafford appear to hang in the balance. The 25-year-old's caption read 'My brothers!' suggesting a tight bond has been developed amongst United's so-called 'bomb squad'.

Sancho's potential move to Roma has stalled in recent days, with the Serie A side reported to have given up their pursuit and instead turned their attention to Chelsea youngster Tyrique George. With other interested parties like Besiktas also looking increasingly unlikely destinations, his future seems unclear.

The stockpiling of players by top clubs has accelerated in recent years, and Manchester United isn't the only Premier League side with a 'bomb squad' of talented but unwanted players. Perhaps the most notorious of all is Chelsea, with Enzo Maresca recently declaring "I don't pay attention to the ones that are training and need to leave."

With Roma supposedly out of the frame, Sancho's options are limited. Right now, his best bet could be a rumoured transfer to the MLS — this is after the former BVB star is said to have loved spending time in numerous US cities whilst staying with his superstar rapper girlfriend Saweetie.
