The press release was not really expected. Yesterday, as the international break was coming to an end, Manchester United released a message denying the exclusion of Jadon Sancho from the first team. “Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training program away from the first team squad, pending resolution of a disciplinary issue within the squad.” In other words, he’s training alone while he waits for his case to be resolved.
His relationship with Erik tan Hag took a hit on the last day of the Premier League. Not called up during the Red Devils’ defeat at Arsenal, the Englishman did not like his coach’s public explanations. This one was reminiscent of a bad week of training. “I will not accept people saying completely false things, I behaved very well in training this week. I believe there are other reasons for this affair that I will not mention, I was a scapegoat for a long time” he replied on social networks.
Ten Hag demands apology
This post has been read more than 60 million times. It has since been removed but the tension is still present. He will not be at the Brighton reception tomorrow (4 p.m.). Ten Hag does not allow his authority to be challenged. As with Cristiano Ronaldo last year, he takes the problem head on, regardless of the player he has in front of him. Even if it means being in the front. Despite his Ballons d’Or, CR7 ended up leaving the club. Sancho and his €85m transfer will probably not weigh heavily either.
At least. Sky Sports affirms this morning that the former BvB has a chance of returning to the group for the days to come. Thanks to the intermediary of certain members of the club and the locker room, the channel remains open between the two men. Ten Hag demands a personal apology from the player for himself and for the club. If this condition is met, Sancho will be able to make his return. He remains a valued person within the club even if his way of doing things shocked more than one. Like everyone, he has the right to a second chance.
