Roy Keane Has Surprising Take On Jadon Sancho And His Man United Future

Roy Keane Has Surprising Take On Jadon Sancho And His Man United Future

Jadon Sancho's career took a bit of a nose dive whenever he left Dortmund to join Man United back in the summer of 2021.

Initially the transfer was seen as a great deal for the club, managing to sign one of the hottest young English prospects in the game at that time - it was surely a win-win situation.

However, the winger endured a torrid time at Old Trafford, and after a very public dispute with Erik ten Hag, he was banished from the club and sent on loan back to Germany.

There, Sancho helped the club reach the Champion's League final, and now he is playing at Chelsea who have surprised everyone by becoming title contenders.

The common consensus is that Sancho simply wasn't good enough to play for United, but speaking on the Christmas special of the Overlap, former Red Devil's captain Roy Keane had an interesting take on it.

"I think Sancho's definitely got something.

"But I also look at some lads go to other clubs from United, and they'll do well, and people go, 'Well, we shouldn't have [sold them]'.

"No, you're doing alright because that club's a better fit for you. We all know sometimes it's timing for a player.

"I'm not saying Sancho's the answer to come back to Man United. Maybe Chelsea's a good fit for him.

"He likes it in London, whatever it might be, the manager down there, who knows? So I'm not saying that you'd get Sancho back in a hurry."

There have been lots of occasions where great players simply don't suit the club that they are at, but can flourish elsewhere.

The two most obvious cases are probably Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah, who both failed at Chelsea, but went on to have extraordinary careers at Man City and Liverpool.
