The most overrated star of the British Empire! At 19, valued at 130 million euros; at 26, unwanted—Manchester United suffers a huge loss.

Who is the most overrated star of the British Empire? Perhaps it is Sancho. Why say so? Because he has never proven himself in the Premier League, yet at 19 his value reached as high as 130 million euros. Now he is left unattended, and Manchester United is destined to incur a heavy loss.

March 25 is Sancho's birthday; he celebrated his 26th birthday on social media with this caption:Grateful for another year, grateful for all the blessings!

Sancho came from Manchester City's youth academy and left without playing for the first team. In the summer window of 2017, he joined Borussia Dortmund for a transfer fee of 20.29 million euros and delivered standout performances at the club, achieving double-digit goals and assists for three consecutive seasons. In the summer window of 2021, he moved to Manchester United for 85 million euros, but Sancho struggled to adapt to the Premier League and did not develop as expected. He was loaned to Chelsea and later returned to Borussia Dortmund, failing to regain his former form. At Manchester United, Sancho completely lost his place; this season he was loaned to Aston Villa, making 31 appearances across all competitions (17 starts), totaling 1520 minutes, with 1 goal and 3 assists—as a forward, scoring only once. Aston Villa definitely will not sign Sancho, and his contract with Manchester United ends this season.

Sancho just turned 26, originally the prime age for a player, but he has fallen into a state of being unwanted. His current market value on Transfermarkt has plummeted to 20 million euros, less than one-sixth of his peak value of 130 million euros. Where is Sancho's future? Given his current form, clubs in the Saudi Pro League and MLS are not interested in him. Perhaps Borussia Dortmund, which knows how to use him, is his only next destination. A free transfer, a salary reduction—hopefully Sancho can rediscover his "wings" at Dortmund and continue to soar on the green pitch.
