Jadon Sancho tipped for Premier League switch immediately after leaving Man United on free transfer

Jadon Sancho will get a ‘good move’ this summer after leaving Manchester United, says Alan Pardew.

However, the former Premier League manager thinks Sancho will struggle to secure a deal with a top six club.

He is set to become a free agent at the end of June after United confirmed he will be released when his contract expires.

The 26-year-old joins Casemiro and Tyrell Malacia in leaving Old Trafford ahead of next season.

Since joining the Red Devils from Borussia Dortmund for £73million in 2021, Sancho has made 83 appearances for the club.

In those outings, he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists for his team-mates.

Meanwhile, Sancho has also spent time on loan at Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa in the last three seasons.

Pardew on Sancho’s future

Following United’s announcement of his departure, Pardew shared his views on his future alongside Majestic on talkSPORT.

The former Premier League manager explained: “He hasn’t really done enough to warrant a massive, massive contract like he was on at Man United, but he’ll get a good move.

“When you get to the end of the season, it is an opportunity. You have to make some really tough calls on who to renegotiate with because obviously there’s a value to the football club.

“You might actually as a manager want them to go, but the club have a financial interest in them, and wants some money back and get them to re-sign one more year.

“‘Let’s see if we can move him on. It’ll be good for you for the year.’ You have to have all those kinds of debates.”

Sancho to Palace?

Pardew believes his old club Crystal Palace could be one club that takes an interest in signing Sancho on a free transfer.

The Eagles are set to appoint Pierre Sage as their new manager to replace the departing Oliver Glasner.

It comes ahead of their first-ever Europa League campaign after winning the Conference League last month.

When asked if Palace would be a good destination for Sancho, Pardew added: “I think that will be the kind of club that he’ll go to.

“That mid-section of the Premier League. I don’t think he’s going to get a move to one of the top six clubs.”

Sancho made 39 appearances across all competitions for Villa last season.

However, he ended the campaign with just one goal and three assists for the club.

The forward was also part of the Villa side which won the Europa League, having made a nine-minute cameo in the final.
