Jadon Sancho is set to return to Manchester United this summer, but his future at the club remains uncertain.
After a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund that ended with a Champions League final defeat, Sancho finds himself back at Old Trafford amidst a potential managerial shakeup.
His falling out with current manager Erik ten Hag led to the loan move in January. If Ten Hag remains in charge, Sancho’s future at United appears bleak unless a major reconciliation happens.
Meanwhile, former United boss Jose Mourinho isn’t exactly predicting a glorious season for the Red Devils under new ownership.
With Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking the helm, Mourinho believes a drastic improvement is unlikely after United’s worst-ever Premier League finish.
“A little improvement, but more of the same. I think at this moment, Pep [Guardiola] laughs at the mess of the other clubs.” Mourinho added.
The honeymoon period is over for Jim Ratcliffe at Manchester United. This summer is his critical test.
Key decisions on the manager and new board appointments will be heavily scrutinized. The focus needs to be on the transfer market. Attracting elite players is essential to close the gap on the Premier League’s top dogs.
A successful season next year hinges on a top-four finish and lifting the Europa League trophy. Missing out on Champions League football again could have severe consequences.
