MANCHESTER UNITED are stuck with Jadon Sancho after he left Chelsea following the end of his loan.
The England winger had a mixed time at Stamford Bridge, failing to live up to expectations again.
He did finish his time with the Blues with a goal in the hammering of Beal Betis in the Europa Conference final.
But, according to David Ornstein, he is now leaving Chelsea to head back to United.
There was a clause in his loan deal that meant Todd Boehly‘s team had to sign him permanently.
But after failing to agree terms on him staying, he will go to Old Trafford, for now.
Chelsea are understood to have paid a £5 million penalty to United.
The 25-year-old will now explore his options in the Premier League and Europe over his next move.
It is understood he is not in Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim‘s plans for the 2025-26 Premier League season.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, he is still set to leave United this summer.
He has been made available by the club for a move away, with the funds made reinvested in the squad.
But, for now, the club are stuck with his £300,000-a-week wages, until he leaves.
Sancho is heading into an important stage of his career, to find a place to settle.
And he will still have hopes of playing for England again in the future.
The Three Lions will head to the United States next summer for the 2026 World Cup.
Sancho will want to be in Thomas Tuchel‘s plans for that when it comes around.

He scored just three goals in 31 Premier League appearance for Chelsea during his loan.
There was hopes he would stay on and restart his career, but they failed to materialise.
Sancho joined United in the summer of 2021 for around £71 million from Borussia Dortmund.
However, he failed to live up to the huge transfer fee, scoring nine times in 58 league appearances.
He was then loaned back to Dortmund last year, where he bagged twice in 14.
His Chelsea loan came about at the start of last season, but he never truly hit the heights they hoped.
