What happened. Jadon Sancho, former Manchester United winger, is now a free agent training with amateur club Flixton, with no contract and interest from Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and Turkey.
- Flixton clarified Sancho was not on trial, just using facilities.
- Sancho's 2019 Dortmund interview warned about young talents 'disappearing'.
- Clubs have agreements in principle, but Sancho is taking time to decide.
“I’ve seen a lot of young talents disappear because it’s come too early and it’s got to their heads.”
— Jadon Sancho
Sancho's next move is pending as he chooses among interested clubs, aiming to revive his career.
