Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth has revealed the reasons why the club decided to sell Jadon Sancho to Chelsea on a loan basis.
According to Ashworth, the club already felt that the position Sancho plays had enough players, and that is why they had to let go of the player, despite him mending fences with United coach Erik Ten Hag.
“We felt we had enough depth in that particular position to be able to cover it,” said Ashworth. “We’ve got four really good wide players; Jadon was a fifth, and it just enabled us to make that decision.”
Sancho left for Chelsea in what pundits believe was his move to escape being benched again by Erik Ten Hag, who had already fallen out with him last season, leading to his return to Borussia Dortmund on loan.
