West Ham has unexpectedly become a viable destination for a marginalized player from Manchester United.

A recent report from 90min suggests that West Ham United is “keeping an eye on” the developments surrounding Jadon Sancho’s status at Manchester United.

According to the report, the Hammers have entered the competition to secure the services of the English winger.

It’s improbable that the 23-year-old Sancho will make another appearance for Manchester United, following his very public dispute with Erik Ten Hag.

During this incident, the winger openly accused his manager of being insincere in explaining the reasons behind his omission from the squad for the match against Arsenal the previous month.

The English forward has been absent from competitive matches since that time, and regardless of whether he decides to issue an apology to his manager, it appears that Sancho’s tenure at Old Trafford is drawing to a close.

While the player has expressed a desire to return to his former club, Borussia Dortmund, the latest reports suggest that David Moyes’ West Ham United has a chance to acquire the discontented winger.

Negotiating a potential transfer, whether it’s a loan or a permanent move to another Premier League team, will be challenging, especially given the player’s substantial weekly wages, which, as reported by Spotrac, amount to approximately £250,000.

Throughout his two-year tenure with Manchester United, Sancho, who still has up to four years remaining on his contract, has been directly involved in only 18 goals across 82 matches in all competitions.West Ham United’s interest in Jadon Sancho adds a new dimension to the ongoing saga regarding his future at Manchester United. Sancho’s public dispute with Erik ten Hag has left his position at the club in serious doubt, with speculation intensifying around his next destination. While Borussia Dortmund has been seen as a preferred option for the winger, West Ham, led by David Moyes, could emerge as a viable alternative.

Sancho’s significant wage of £250,000 per week presents a major obstacle for any potential move, be it a loan or permanent transfer. West Ham may explore a loan deal with Manchester United subsidizing part of his wages, though it remains to be seen how both clubs will navigate these financial challenges.

With Sancho’s performances over his two-year spell at Old Trafford being underwhelming—18 goal involvements in 82 appearances—the Hammers will need to assess whether taking on his wages and form is worth the gamble. If West Ham can strike a deal, it would signal a notable opportunity for Sancho to revive his Premier League career under new management.
