Chelsea’s Jadon Sancho loan was not disastrous but they need an upgrade

Chelsea have to pay a 5 m penalty fee to buy Jadon Sancho from Manchester United .

Chelsea failed to meet a 25 m obligation to buy the teenager from United last summer .

Sancho made 41 appearances, scored five goals and registered 10 assists.

Chelsea were right to bring him in and, having held unsuccessful talks with Sancho over joining on lower pay, are right to walk away.

The sense is that he is not quite suited to the intensity of the Premier League .

There is no obvious place for Sancho in Amorim ’s 3-4-3 system.

United are preparing for a revamp with the arrival of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo .

Both parties have to find a solution in a market, short of obvious buyers at home and abroad.
