Italian journalist Pedula revealed that Manchester United has notified Sancho that it will activate the one-year renewal clause in the player's contract.

Pedura said: "Sancho has not joined Rome for many days because it is subject to his agent. Four days ago, Manchester United had notified Sancho's unilateral renewal option (expiration date 2027) to thwart the agent's plan.

"The agent originally planned to give up his current large income and wait for Sancho's contract to expire and leave the team at zero transfer fee to obtain more funds (he believes that Manchester United will not trigger the renewal option because of tiredness). Manchester United has reached an agreement with Roma on a loan-strengthening buyout. ”

Sancho joined Manchester United in the summer window of 2021 at 85 million euros. He signed with the team until 2026, and also accompanied by a one-year renewal clause.
