The English winger has only managed 83 appearances for the club and scored 12 goals.<\/p>\n<p>He has spent the last three seasons on loan with Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa, where he has enjoyed team success.<\/p>\n<h3>Three seasons, three finals<\/h3>\n<p>Sancho only came on as a late substitute last night with Aston Villa already coasting 4-0 in their Europa League semi-final against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<p>He played the final nine minutes of the game and only had one touch of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>The winger did not have any key passes or shots on goal.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old also made one defensive contribution, making one clearance in the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa and Sancho will take on German side Freiburg on Wednesday 20th May, and it will, incredibly, be Sancho\u2019s third different European final in three years.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jadon Sancho will play his 3rd European final in the last three years with three different clubs. \ud83c\udfc6\u2728<\/p>\n<p>2023\/24 \u2013 Champions League final<br \/>2024\/25 \u2013 Conference League final<br \/>2025\/26 \u2013 Europa League final <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VETWNTZDPj\">pic.twitter.com\/VETWNTZDPj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/2052557831547519125?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The English forward had a very strong end to the 2024 season and helped Borussia Dortmund to the final of the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid but gave a very good account of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Sancho tasted victory as Chelsea crushed Real Betis 4-1 to win the Conference League, with the English winger scoring in the final.<\/p>\n<p>The winger has been a bit-part player at most this season for the Villans but will now have the chance to do what few players have ever done and play in all three separate finals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tablepress-1335-name\" class=\"tablepress-table-name tablepress-table-name-id-1335\">Jadon Sancho stats vs Nottingham Forest<\/h2>\n<table id=\"tablepress-1335\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1335\" aria-labelledby=\"tablepress-1335-name\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Stat<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Goals<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Assists<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Total shots<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Shots on target<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Shots blocked<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Touches<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Dribbles (successful)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0 (0)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Key passes<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Crosses (accurate)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0 (0)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Accurate passes<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0\/0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Def. contributions<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Tackles (won)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0 (0)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Interceptions<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Clearances<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-16\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Blocked shots<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-17\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Ground duels (won)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0 (0)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-18\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Dribbled past<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-1335 from cache --><\/p>\n<p>Source: Sofascore<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image Gareth Copley via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
