Solskjaer Says Ear Infection Undercut Sancho’s Man United Debut as Exit Looms

Sancho has played only sparingly on loan at Aston Villa under Unai Emery.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Overlap, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Jadon Sancho was hospitalised with an ear infection before he could begin pre-season training at Manchester United.
  • Solskjaer added he “never really got to play with him properly” because Sancho’s form picked up only as Solskjaer was leaving in November 2021.
  • Sancho’s struggles led to successive loans to Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea and now to Aston Villa, where he has four appearances and no Premier League starts.
  • Goal, citing Sport Bild, reports United plan to listen to offers in June, while talkSPORT reports the club may even consider ending his deal early to shed wages.
  • Goal reports his contract runs to 2027, though other outlets suggest he could depart on a free, with Dortmund linked and a pay cut reportedly under consideration.
