By the end of next season Jadon Sancho will have two years left on his Manchester United contract and it might be approaching the time when a decision has to be taken on his future.
As with most modern deals, the five-year contract Sancho signed when joining from Borussia Dortmund for £73millon includes the option of an extra year, so he could be tied down until 2027, but to earn that he needs to show a considerable improvement on his first couple of seasons.
It maybe sums up United's occasional transfer misfortune that the player on which they struck what seemed at the time to be an excellent deal has so far failed to live up to that value. In 2020 Borussia Dortmund wanted £108million for Sancho and United refused to play ball. A year later they had saved themselves £35million.
