Manchester United and Chelsea are currently in talks over a stunning swap deal that could see Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling switch clubs in the final days of the transfer window.
Sancho has been left out of United’s squad for their opening two Premier League games, while Sterling has been banished to Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ after falling out of favour with Enzo Maresca,
Both men are now looking for a move to resurrect their careers, and a swap deal between United and Chelsea is potentially on the table.
But which club would be getting the better side of the deal?
Statistics provided by Opta point to a clear winner between the England wingers, indicating that it may actually be United who come away the happier club.
Conveniently, the two players have featured in almost exactly the same number of games – 83 for Sancho at United, 81 for Sterling at Chelsea – making a comparison pretty straightforward.
This is despite Sancho joining United a year earlier than Sterling moved to Stamford Bridge, highlighting the problems the former has had at Old Trafford.
Over the past three years, Sancho has recorded just 12 goals and six assists for the Red Devils in his 83 outings. Sterling has the upper hand in both categories with 19 goals and 12 assists.
