Sancho's future is currently uncertain after Chelsea paid a penalty fee to send him back from a loan spell to parent club Manchester United. The winger is currently part of Manchester United's 'bomb squad' and is training away from the first team along with fellow outcasts Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia and Antony.

Borussia Dortmund and Juventus have both been linked with a move for Sancho this summer, with United eager to offload the 25-year-old. Former Chelsea player and manager Roberto Di Matteo thinks that the winger does still have the potential to shine but has work to do to live up to his potential.
WHAT DI MATTEO SAID
He told BetVictor, who offer the latest football betting:I think it's all down to Jadon Sancho. He has so much quality and so much potential to be one of the greatest in the game. I don't know why he's inconsistent . He went back to Borussia Dortmund and managed to help them to the Champions League final, he showed us again how good he could be. It's completely down to him. It's completely down to him what he wants to do with his career. Dortmund are a big club, Juventus is even a bigger club in terms of history and titles and they're always competing to win titles – but it's really down to his mentality. It’s down to his mentality and his attitude. What does he want? Does he want to be a player that is remembered in the history of football or does he just want to keep changing teams every season? It's down to him."

Manchester United have managed to offload Marcus Rashford to Barcelona this summer and will now be working hard to get the likes of Sancho, Antony and Malacia off the books as well. Yet any permanent transfer will see United take a hefty loss on the £73m they paid to sign Sancho from Dortmund in 2021.
