The Manchester United sensation Jadon Sancho has been informed that he might have to go out on loan this summer. Regarding the future of the England international at Old Trafford, former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has expressed concern.
Throughout this season, Sancho has only made 18 Premier League starts. Nearly two full seasons after joining, the Borussia Dortmund transfer’s £73 million price tag has not yet been met.
Whether Marcus Rashford played as the primary striker has frequently determined whether he was in Erik ten Hag’s lineup. However, Alejandro Garnacho presents more opposition.
In addition to just pledging his long-term future to United, Garnacho has had a strong breakout season. Collymore feels that the Argentine ought to be selected ahead of Sancho for the forthcoming FA Cup match against Manchester City.
“You would assume that Wout Weghorst won’t be trusted to lead the line, so Marcus Rashford is likely to start up top with Antony on the right-hand side, and if that is the case, it would mean either Jadon Sancho or Alejandro Garnacho starts on the left,” Collymore said in his Caught Offside column. In my opinion, Garnacho should come out first even if I am a huge Sancho supporter.
“He’s young, quick, and very technical, so I believe Kyle Walker and others would have a lot more trouble keeping up with him. Unlike Sancho, Garnacho is cocky and brimming with confidence, and while a moment as monumental as the FA Cup final could be too much for some players, I can see the young Argentine flourishing there.
Collymore thinks it would be a serious setback for Sancho if a young player at Old Trafford overtook him. If that happens, he believes the former Manchester City youth standout should search for a loan move.
Next month, Collymore said, “I would fear for Sancho’s future at Man United if he finds himself on the bench and behind an 18-year-old breakthrough talent. Although he’s still young and still has time to reach the level he was predicted to, I wouldn’t be shocked if fans saw him go out on loan.
If the Red Devils would rather sell him, they’ll have to suffer a loss on him. “I am certain that all the top sides in Italy and Germany would take a look at him and either bring him on for a season or two on loan,” the author said.
