'Nobody hates Man Utd more than Jadon Sancho' - Red Devils outcast labelled an 'annoying clown' after rejecting Roma transfer as fans question winger's motivation in drawn-out saga

Fans have called out Sancho on social media after the England winger reportedly rejected the chance to leave United and sign for Serie A side Roma. The Red Devils thought they were edging towards finalising an exit for one of their 'bomb squad' members after a club-to-club loan deal with a £20 million (€25m/$29m) option to buy was put in place, but the 25-year-old has turned down a prospective move to Italy.

Fans were quick to express their frustration and puzzlement with the decision. UTDTrey wrote on X: "Nobody in this world hates Manchester United more than Jadon Sancho."

TheFergusonWay made things personal, adding: "It's getting ridiculous with Sancho at this point. Just accept a different proposal to another club and move on. You should be happy that a club as big as Roma want to sign you in the first place after stinking up the pitch for the last 4 seasons. Annoying clown."

RedMarrow pointed out Sancho's refusal to make a fresh start: "Jadon Sancho must be the only freedom fighter who refused freedom despite being offered it multiple times."

Dev Bajwa was no less damning in his verdict: "Jadon Sancho really is nothing more than a disrespectful man who wants to stay on his ridiculous wages and move as a free agent. The worst signing since Sir Alex (bar none) and he has nobody to blame for his career but his own deluded, selfish attitude."

Finally, Njuguna hinted the former Borussia Dortmund star may still be holding out for something 'better': "Sancho actually thinks that bigger teams than Roma will come for him."

Sancho had an ordinary 2024-25 season on loan at Chelsea, scoring just five goals in 41 appearances, though the winger did get his hands on some silverware in the form of the Conference League and Club World Cup. There seems to be no way back for him at United, with the breakdown in his relationship with former manager Erik ten Hag resulting in him having loan spells with Dortmund and Chelsea.

With the summer transfer window closing on September 1, United will hope to secure an exit for Sancho alongside fellow estranged squad members Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. Marcus Rashford has already departed on loan to Barcelona.
