Overview

• Aston Villa confirmed a season-long loan for Jadon Sancho from Manchester United on September 1 after the winger was placed in Ruben Amorim’s ‘bomb squad’.
• Jamie Carragher said he does not see a standout quality in Sancho and questioned “how much ability” he has during The Overlap Fan Debate.
• Paul Scholes called Sancho a “weird” signing for Villa and raised concerns about his lack of pace and suitability to Villa Park’s dimensions.
• Chelsea declined to make last season’s loan permanent and reportedly paid a £5m penalty to cancel the option after a return of five goals and 10 assists.
• The 25-year-old could debut for Villa this weekend at Everton, with scrutiny sharpened by his Manchester United record of 12 goals and six assists in 83 games.
