A Manchester United player reportedly will not move to a new club due to the differing motivations of the interested party and the star himself.
A deal for Manchester United winger to join Roma has not progressed as Jadon Sancho does not have the right motivations to join, the club’s sporting director Frederic Massara has claimed.
The Red Devils will continue their Premier League campaign on Sunday against Fulham at Craven Cottage, with the team hoping to register first points of the season.
Boss Ruben Amorim has been backed significantly in the transfer window, but United have so far failed to offload a number of players who are out of favour with the Portuguese coach.
Sancho has played no part in pre-season or the 2025-26 campaign, and the forward has been strongly been linked with an exit.
In quotes reported by SportMediaset, Roma sporting director Massara has seemingly dismissed the possibility of the Englishman joining, saying: “There are no conditions to proceed with this deal, especially as Sancho doesn’t have the motivations to join AS Roma.”
The news of the rejection will come as a blow to Amorim, who would have hoped to have sold Sancho to free up funds and wages.
Is Ruben Amorim resetting the culture in the Manchester United dressing room?
There are a number of players with uncertain futures still at Old Trafford, with the likes of Rasmus Hojlund and Antony also not in Amorim’s plans.
The latter has often been the subject of criticism from United fans for both on and off-field actions, while the former has failed to live up to expectations since signing in 2023.
Sancho has been criticised for similar reasons to Antony, as has winger Alejandro Garnacho, who has fallen out with Amorim.
By exiling all four players, Amorim has demonstrated that players must perform on the pitch and fit into the culture of his new-look United if they wish to have a future at Old Trafford.
What next for Manchester United’s summer transfer window?
Manchester United have strengthened considerably in the forward line, with Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko all expected to be starters this term.
The club have been credited with an interest in midfielder Carlos Baleba, but with his price seemingly prohibitive, alternatives such as Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller have emerged.
Goalkeeper Senne Lammens is thought to be nearing a move to Old Trafford, and his arrival could signal the end Andre Onana‘s time as first choice.
If the Red Devils can agree deals to sell the likes of Garnacho and Sancho before the September 1 deadline, perhaps United will be able to delve back into the transfer market.
