Jadon Sancho has dropped a massive hint about his long-term Manchester United future, with the winger BUYING an expensive new property just around the corner from his manager Erik ten Hag.

Sancho, 24, had his future prospects thrown into doubt earlier this season after being removed from a matchday squad by Ten Hag, who was reported to be unhappy with the England man’s attitude in training.

Things got ugly from there with Sancho taking aim at his manager through a social media post, declaring that the Dutchman had made him a ‘scapegoat’.

Ten Hag demanded an apology before he would reintegrate the former Manchester City academy player into the first-team squad, banishing him from the senior team’s Carrington training facilities.

The £73 million signing stuck to his guns however, effectively disappearing from the first-team picture at Old Trafford even as the team struggled for form and goals on the field.

In January, a lifeline was offered for Sancho’s career when former club Borussia Dortmund agreed a six-month loan deal with United, which would take the attacker to the Bundesliga to the end of the season.

The move has had its ups and downs, with Sancho facing criticism from German media, but in the last couple of months there has been a massive upturn for BVB and the player.

Dortmund have qualified for the Champions League final, where they play Real Madrid on June 1 at Wembley, just a stone’s throw from Sancho’s hometown of Kennington, London.

Sancho signals United intent

Sancho impressed all-comers with his performance in the first leg of the semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain, delivering the kind of display which reminded fans of why United were prepared to splash out so much money for the young talent back in 2021.

The move hasn’t quite worked out for all parties with it being mooted that United could even sell up this summer should a suitable bid materialise.

Dortmund would love to have Sancho back on a full-time basis but are unlikely to have the money to do a deal for a player under contract until 2026.

However, the 23-cap Englishman has now signalled his intention to stay at Old Trafford by purchasing a high-spec new home, according to The Sun.

The property is in Hale, Greater Manchester and features a cinema, an indoor swimming pool and a luxury open-plan kitchen and living area.

According to the report, Sancho has paid £3.8 million for his flash new pad.

He was pictured heading towards the property by photographers, which is still under construction.

Ten Hag’s own Manchester United future has been in doubt but if recent comments from Sir Jim Ratcliffe are anything to go by, Sancho and his manager might end up as neighbours as well as working together.
