Manchester United striker Jadon Sancho is unlikely to attract transfer interest from Saudi Arabia, although he could be transferred if Sir Jim Ratclife takes over as manager.

Jadon Sancho, a Manchester United outcast, will not agree to join a Saudi Arabian club when the transfer window reopens in January.

The England winger, 23, has not played for United since publicly criticizing Erik ten Hag on social media after the Dutchman claimed Sancho was left out of the matchday squad against Arsenal in early September due to poor training performances.

Ten Hag has already barred Sancho from all first-team facilities, citing claims that the player was unwilling to apologize following the altercation. While both parties are anticipated to try to transfer Sancho on in the New Year, Sancho has no plans to entertain Middle Eastern interest.

According to a fresh story from The Telegraph, Sancho is being pursued by his old club Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, as well as Saudi Arabia. However, he would want to continue his career in Europe rather than join the Saudi Pro League.

Sancho drew attention from Saudi Arabia in the latter stages of the summer transfer window, but he did not pursue a move. Even in light of his current circumstances at Old Trafford, it appears that stance has not shifted.

When Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s £1.3 billion request for a 25% share in the club is approved in the coming days, resolving the lingering rivalry between Sancho and Ten Hag is expected to be a priority.

The Ineos CEO is unlikely to consider ostracizing a player who paid Manchester United more than £73 million just two years ago, and rumors suggest he will try to force Ten Hag and Sancho to reconcile their disagreements.

While Ratcliffe may be eager to put their feud behind them, it appears unlikely that a player who has struggled to live up to expectations will be able to return to Old Trafford while Ten Hag remains in charge.

It’s unclear how much of the £73 million fee United would recoup if they did sell Sancho in January. His stock has plummeted since his sensational summer 2021 transfer, which occurred after a sparkling four-year career in the Bundesliga.
