Al-Ettifaq plotting last-minute loan move for Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho has come under heavy scrutiny due to his attitude

Al-Ettifaq are preparing a last-minute move for Jadon Sancho, a player who has lost favour at Manchester United due to his character traits.

When asked about Sancho's absence from the team in United's most recent game, head coach Ten Hag responded that the forward's training had been ineffective, which had caused him to leave the team.

The issue took an undesirable turn when Sancho posted a statement on Twitter disparaging Ten Hag's remarks about his preparation.

Manchester United are now thinking about selling the England international as a result of this. Saudi club is now attempting to profit from this predicament.

CBS Sports reports that Al-Ettifaq have started discussions about perhaps taking the United winger on loan because they want to give Sancho a way out.

The Steven Gerrard-coached Saudi Pro League team is reportedly open to making any loan agreement permanent.

Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Demarai Grey, and erstwhile Celtic forward Moussa Dembele have each recently signed with Al-Ettifaq this summer.

On September 7 at 10 PM GMT, the transfer market for the Saudi Pro League concludes.

In their first five league matches of the period, Al-Ettifaq have compiled a record of three victories, one tie, and one loss.

Al-Ittihad are inching closer to acquiring Luiz Felipe from Real Betis on a stressful final day in the Saudi Pro League, providing them with the centre-back they had been lusting after in advance of the Club World Cup, but they are no closer to acquiring Mohamed Salah after their initial bid was turned down by Liverpool.
