Gasperini has done extraordinary things, and we hope he can do the same in Rome, even with the predominantly young squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Massara also commented on dealing with football agents, which may give some insight into their dealings with Sancho\u2019s entourage.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cToday, agents are key players in the transfer market.\u00a0It\u2019s difficult to change these dynamics; they\u2019ve acquired enormous weight and sometimes influence negotiations, leading to a positive or negative outcome. They need to be managed with the understanding that the team\u2019s priorities are paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relationship completely broken between Sancho and Man Utd<\/p>\n<p>It comes as a surprise that Sancho has turned down advances to join Roma when there has not been many offers from other clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Sancho, 25, has seen his stock fall to an all-time low, and there is a chance he won\u2019t get a move away from Old Trafford this summer.<\/p>\n<p>What happens next is anyone\u2019s guess, but United have a problem to address because he remains one of the club\u2019s highest-paid players.<\/p>\n<p>Respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Sancho, stressing that the relationship remains completely broken with his present club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Sancho, the message from United remains the same. No chance to return in the squad,\u201d Romano said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSancho doesn\u2019t even want to retire in the squad, so the relationship remains completely broken between Man Utd and Sancho.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the Roma deal, for Man Utd, it\u2019s very clear. Man Utd would take the offer from Roma. It\u2019s already clear since more than one week ago. \u00a320 million, loan with obligation for United is okay. United would take that money and let the player go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the player who said no on Monday, and at the moment, the player is still not giving any different indication about that. If Sancho decides to reopen talks with Roma, we will be here to let you know in the next days. As of today, Sancho is still not accepting, not opening doors to Roma move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, let\u2019s see what\u2019s going to happen there, but Sancho remains one of the players who have to leave Manchester United in these final days of the summer transfer window, because the relationship with Manchester United,is completely broken.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jadon Sancho remains a Manchester United player after turning down a move to Serie A outfit AS Roma.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,12544,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-93578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-jadon-sancho","11":"tag-soccer","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
