Flixton FC set the record straight after former Man Utd winger Jadon Sancho was seen training with the club. They emphasized that he was not signed, but was welcomed for a single session that showcased his professionalism and humility.

Sancho was praised by Flixton as "nothing but professional, humble, and generous with his time." After completing his session, he met with young supporters, posed for photos, signed autographs, and left a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

He has achieved more in the game than most players could ever dream of, scoring in Chelsea's 2025 Europa Conference League final and being part of Villa's Europa League‑winning squad last season. A youth player at Manchester City before signing for Dortmund in 2017, he thanked the club in a video with manager Alex Mortimer.

Sancho praised the pitch, calling it "the first time I've seen a nice pitch – apart from United and City," and expressed gratitude for the warm tourists welcome.
