'Jadon was not on trial with the club' - Flixton dismiss Sancho talk
Non-league Flixton FC set the record straight after former Man Utd winger Jadon Sancho is seen training with the club.
Former England winger Jadon Sancho trained with non-league club Flixton just months after being released by Manchester United, sparking speculation about potential transfer talks. However, Flixton quickly issued a statement to dispel any rumors of Sancho being on trial with the club, clarifying that he was only using their facilities for personal fitness training.
Sancho, 26, is a free agent after his contract with United expired in June. Despite previous clashes with United manager Erik ten Hag and loan spells at several other clubs, Sancho returned to both Dortmund and Aston Villa in recent seasons. Flixton praised Sancho for his professionalism, humility, and generosity, noting that he left a positive impression on young supporters who met him.
Sancho himself thanked Flixton and manager Alex Mortimer, expressing his admiration for the club's pitch.
