JAKARTA Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho was rumored to have left for Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Pro League club, Al Ettikaq, is believed to intend to bring Sancho ahead of the closing of the Saudi Arabian transfer market. Unfortunately, the transfer failed to materialize and has now revealed the cause of the failure to move Sancho.

The 23-year-old winger's future at Old Trafford is considered gloomy after publicly attacking Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after last weekend's match against Arsenal.

The Dutch manager stated that Jadon Sancho did not join the team against the Gunners because the former Borussia Dortmund performance was below standard when he played a training session. Sancho immediately denied this through his social media account.

After the 'commotion', speculation about Sancho's future began to emerge. Moreover, when the Saudi Pro League clubs still have ambitions to bring in stars from Europe ahead of the closing of the transfer market in Saudi Arabia, last September 7.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United is willing to release Sancho on loan. Al Ettikaq immediately responded to this by discussing the Red Devils regarding the agreement for Sancho.

The report claims that MU does not demand loan fees but wants an obligation clause to buy for 50 million or Rp958 billion in loan agreements.

Although the Pro-Saudi League clubs are considered very large funds, Al Ettikaq, who is currently trained by Steven Gerrard, insists that they are unable to meet these demands. This is the cause of Sancho's transfer failure to Saudi Arabia.

Now, the option of the England international to leave Old Trafford is only for the Turkish Super League. Although the transfer market is still open and is believed to have enthusiasts, the possibility of Sancho's move to Turkey is considered only to be realized ahead of the closing of the transfer market in Turkey which ends next week.

MU is believed to be willing to release the Manchester City academy dropout at a price of around 45 million pounds or Rp862 billion. However, the management of the Red Devils has not yet received a concrete proposal for Sancho's move.

Sancho himself reportedly did not get the support of his team-mates in the dressing room, and many felt fed up with Sancho's attitude around the training ground. In the midst of his future uncertainty, Sancho is said to be meeting Erik ten Hag during the international break to discuss the situation.

If the resolution can be achieved, Jadon Sancho, who only scored 12 goals and six assists in 82 games with Manchester United, can return to the squad for the match against Brighton & Hove Albion, September 16.
