Former England winger Jadon Sancho signing for non-league Flixton just months after being released by Manchester United sounds like the start of an April Fool's post. Flixton felt the need to set the record straight, putting out a statement to play down the links with Sancho, who cost United £73m in 2021. "To clarify, Jadon was not on trial with the club and was not involved in any transfer discussions," Flixton wrote in a statement on Instagram. , external"He simply used our facilities for a private training session to maintain his fitness while preparing for the next chapter of his career." Sancho, 26, is a free agent after being released by United when his contract expired in June.
