According to an exclusive report by the "Daily Mail", Villa cannot return Sancho early in January because there is no break clause in the loan contract.
In Villa's 1-0 victory over Manchester City, Sancho experienced the embarrassing situation of being substituted and then substituted. The player currently only plays 53 minutes in the Premier League, and Villa needs to bear 80% of his weekly salary of 250,000 pounds (that is, 200,000 pounds).
In view of the limited playing opportunities, outsiders have questioned whether he may return to Manchester United early. In particular, Mbemo, Ahmad and Mazrawi will participate in the African Cup and will be absent for one month. Manchester United actually needs reinforcements on the right side.
But since there is no break clause, Sancho will stay at Villa until his contract with Manchester United expires this summer, although the club has an option to extend the contract for 12 months to avoid losing both manpower and wealth next June.
