Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has questioned the "ability" of Jadon Sancho after the winger was branded Manchester United’s "worst ever transfer signing."

Sancho has been a massive disappointment at Old Trafford since his £73m move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021. Arriving at United as a 21-year-old, Sancho had established himself as one of the most exciting players in Europe during his three-year spell at Dortmund.

A bust-up with Erik ten Hag and a dip in form ensured Sancho has made just four appearances for the Red Devils since the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

The winger showed glimpses of his potential during loan moves to Dortmund and Chelsea, but ultimately failed to earn a permanent transfer to either club.

Chelsea even paid Manchester United a £5m penalty to cancel an agreement to sign Sancho permanently. Ruben Amorim had no plans to reintegrate Sancho into his first-team squad at Old Trafford and sanctioned his loan move to Aston Villa towards the end of the summer transfer window.

Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher responded to a sentiment shared on the show that Sancho might be United's worst ever signing.

He said, "It’s funny with Sancho because he got the reputation with Borussia Dortmund. When you say he’s the worst Man Utd signing because of his ability... I’m not sure there’s much ability there."

Carragher continued, "I think he’s okay, but I don’t understand what his thing is. I’ve been critical of Marcus Rashford, but if I picture him playing well, I can picture his pace and his shooting.

"I don’t know what Sancho’s thing is. Every player has something, but I can’t think of what he does. I’ve never seen it in my life. I haven’t."

Sancho will be desperate to revive his career at Aston Villa in hopes of securing a big move as a free agent next summer.
