Former defender William Gallas has stressed that loanee winger can’t stay at Stamford Bridge beyond this season if he doesn’t raise his standards in the coming months. The Blues have an obligation to buy Sancho for a fee between £22million and £25m this summer, depending on how high they finish in the , as long as it’s above 15th.

“I don’t know what the problem is, but at the moment, he can’t stay at because he has to do more.

The Red Devils are reportedly confident that if their rivals don’t fulfil their obligation, the cash they would have to send would still make the deal a fruitful one.
And then would likely look to offload the 24-year-old anyway, given his dedication to only wanting players 100 per cent committed to his vision.
