Sancho's future at Manchester United has been uncertain, and several clubs have been interested in signing him. Roma was one of the clubs that had agreed a deal with Manchester United, which would have seen Sancho join on a loan with an option to buy for £20 million. However, Roma has now pulled out of the deal.

Roma's director, Frederic Massara, has confirmed that the deal is off. He stated that Sancho's lack of motivation was a major reason for the decision. Massara's comments suggest that Sancho's attitude and willingness to join the team were not in line with Roma's expectations.
