Jadon Sancho's £73million arrival at Manchester United was billed as the final piece in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's title-winning jigsaw after they had come runners-up to City.
Instead, the move has been cursed from the start. Even though Sancho is still only 23 with time to fulfil his potential, it might have to be away from Old Trafford given the tribulations of the past two seasons.
There was excitement when United won the race for Sancho in the summer of 2021. The winger had scored 50 goals and helped assist another 64 in four seasons at Borussia Dortmund alongside Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland, justifying his decision to leave Manchester City as a teenager and go abroad.
