Manchester United’s decision to let Jadon Sancho join Chelsea could end up making them look stupid.
That’s the opinion of David James, who reckons United bosses will live to regret agreeing to Sancho joining one of their big rivals. Sancho joined Chelsea last month on a season-long loan, with the London club agreeing to make the deal permanent for £20m next summer.
The England international had a difficult relationship with United boss Erik ten Hag, which saw the pair fall-out last season. Sancho was loaned to Borussia Dortmund and helped them reach the Champions League final, before returning to United.

But it became apparent he had no future at Old Trafford while Ten Hag was manager, resulting in him moving to Stamford Bridge. But James reckons if Sancho goes on to become a big success at Chelsea, he will make his former club look like idiots.
The former England and Liverpool star told Safest Casinos : “My signing of the window has to be Chelsea’s capture of Jadon Sancho. He had a good debut against Bournemouth – looked really lively, and there’s no doubt that there is a player in there.
“He’s shown what he’s all about at his two spells with Dortmund. There was something about him at Manchester United which, for whatever reason, obviously didn’t work.

“That can happen with players, particularly young ones, sometimes moves just don’t work out. His second spell at Dortmund re-energised him. It gave him the belief that he can operate at the highest level, after his confidence was knocked at Manchester United.
“He’s going to get lots of opportunities to showcase his talent at Chelsea this season. I think it’s a great signing and a new environment could be exactly what he needs to start demonstrating that he is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League.
“In many ways, it’s similar to Cole Palmer. Chelsea are going to give him a platform to express himself. If he can follow in Palmer’s footsteps, then it’s a fantastic piece of business and one that could leave Manchester United looking pretty foolish indeed, especially if they keep on struggling.”
