JADON SANCHO kept coining it in – even as his stock started to fall at Manchester United.
Latest figures reveal Sancho, currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, saw his off-field fortune grow by nearly £1.5m.
The former England winger has a company called Jadon Sancho Management to look after his commercial interests.
According to documents filed at Companies House, the firm had net assets of £5,666,632 on June 30 2023, up from £4,117,160 a year earlier.
The headline figure is the total assets and debts due to the company, minus the sums owed to its creditors.
Intriguingly, the person who owes the company the most money is Sancho himself.

The accounts reveal that at the end of the reporting period, sole director Sancho had borrowed £5,774,339 for unspecified purposes, but probably separate investments.
Sancho had a tough time last season. He spent a few weeks away from United in the middle of the campaign to deal with physical and mental health issues.
And the 24-year-old rarely found the kind of form that persuaded United to spend £73m on him back in 2021.
Any hopes of a fresh start in this campaign were dashed by a high profile row with boss Erik ten Hag.

After the Dutchman claimed Sancho had been dropped for September’s trip to Arsenal because of poor performances in training, the winger took to social media to brand the explanation “completely untrue”.
Ten Hag took a hardline stance on the public show of dissent and banished Sancho to train on his own.
Anti-social media – Sancho’s Man Utd exit
JADON Sancho’s third season at Manchester United was over before it had really begun.
The £73m winger had made just three substitute appearances for United before he and boss Erik ten Hag had a very public row.
The United boss was reportedly unimpressed by Sancho’s efforts when he was in a second-string side on the training ground which was supposed to play like Arsenal against the Dutchman’s likely starting 11.
The former England star was subsequently left out of the United squad completely for the September 3 trip to the Emirates.
After the 3-1 defeat by the Gunners, Ten Hag had said of Sancho: “On his performance in training, we didn’t select him. You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.”
Sancho hit back on Instagram, saying: “I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue.
“I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe ther are other reasons for this mateter that I won’t go into.
“I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!”
When Sancho refused to apologise, he was banished to train on his own and was farmed out on loan to Borussia Dortmund in January.
And even when praising Sancho for his display for the German side against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter finals, Ten Hag hardly opened the door to an Old Trafford redemption.
When asked if anything had changed, the Dutchman said: “No, but we know Jadon Sancho is a fantastic football player, so that is not a surprise for us.
“That is not the issue.” The question now is who will remain on United’s books for longer – Sancho or Ten Hag?
In January, Sancho rejoined former club Borussia Dortmund on loan and is thriving back in Germany.
He has started 10 of Dortmund’s 13 Bundesliga games, scoring twice, and all their ties in the knockout stages of the Champions League in their progress to the semi-finals.
