It’s been a fair while since Jadon Sancho was flavour of the month at Man United, and the way in which he fell out with Erik ten Hag at the start of last season was effectively the beginning of the end of his career at Old Trafford.
The former England international spent a few months as persona non grata at the club before being loaned to Borussia Dortmund, whom he helped to get to the Champions League final against Real Madrid, a match they ended up losing.
Sancho required back for pre-season by Man United
For all concerned, a continuation of his loan deal to the Bundesliga giants or a permanent move there would appear to be the best course of action for all concerned.
However, the trail has appeared to have gone quiet, even though Manchester Evening News believe that Dortmund are still interested in the player.
The outlet also note United’s frankly unbelievable decision… Sancho must return to the club for pre-season training next week.
It isn’t clear at this stage if there’ll be a thawing in relations with ten Hag, and the player will be able to train with the first team, or if he will once again be banished to train with the academy kids in a separate area of the Carrington complex.
Were the latter scenario be what ends up happening, one wouldn’t be surprised if Sancho were just to refuse to come in and effectively go on strike until he gets the move he wants.
It wouldn’t be the wisest course of action, though there might be a modicum of understanding from the fan base.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his board have nailed their colours to the ten Hag mast, so if the Dutchman wants to make an example of Sancho again, they’re likely to back their manager.
leave our club
Sancho had a valid point in not retracting his comments about victimisation. He was accused of not training hard enough, and held his version of things. Had he apologised he would have been admitting this accusation against him, which was untrue when you consider the relationship between ten Hag and Antony. Ten Hag maker of his own downfall. Terrible man manager now alienating Rashford, no wonder his dire games have regressed as the season wore on.
You have mentioned 3 players that couldn’t give a toss about united. You only have to look at the way they have performed when they have been on the pitch. All three think they are above the team
Full of crap players getting paid a lot more than they are worth and working for should be working harder than ans stopping being like spoilt children got no pride in themselves and not playing for the club sancho is garbage anyway rashford needs to grow up and realise he is a footballer not a politician
The best solution would have been to get rid of the manager. He has little support from the players or the fans.
In actual fact it has been reported many times EtH has the majority support of the fans and players who have gone public. Who would you prefer Conte,Tuchel,Southgate,Potter,Lampard ? Not many managers available are there.
Rob ..I totally agree with that …..& it will be the same this season …..team closeness finished when Pogba came back & messed up everything
Got it one!
The story is far deeper.Ten Hag only said he didn’t train up to standard. The problems with Sancho started before Ten Hag was even there and that why UTD sent him out for rehab from game addiction. He didn’t kick the habit and was playing into early hours 3am and then getting to training late and tired. Ten Hag tried everything and finally tried to get to him through the media, Sancho instead of understanding and appreciating the patience and investment made in him just like a spoilt kid reacted how he did. An apology is the least in my opinion.
You understand everything is happening, many man utd fans didn’t want this club to progress…when raf ragnick came they where all against him he is poor coach what happened…we tired of hyier and fire coach…this guy have turn man utd into their father’s home they believed they where helping the fans and board not knowing their life let them go and they should bring players who re ready to fight for the badge….
Nonsense
Surely if he refuses to cooperate we can stop paying him .
