Already badly embarked at the start of the Championship, the Red Devils suffered a second defeat in four games on the lawn of Arsenal, this weekend (1-3). But beyond the pitch, Erik ten Hag is facing the Jadon Sancho case, which is disrupting Manchester United’s start to the season. The English winger, absent from the match sheet at the Emirates Stadium, had been dismissed by his coach “because of his performance in training. You have to reach the necessary level every day at Manchester United”explained the Dutchman.
An exit which forced the main interested party to react to the words of his Dutch manager, explaining “there are other reasons why I was not included in the team. I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time, which isn’t fair.”. Not selected with the Three Lions, the Manchester United star is one of the few players to train at Carrington, the United training center, while Erik ten Hag and part of the team took holidays.
Rio Ferdinand attacks Jadon Sancho
Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand believes Sancho has put himself in a very complicated situation and his future is in jeopardy. While several British media mentioned rumors of the 23-year-old Englishman moving to Saudi Arabia, the Red Devils legend felt that“There are only two options for him: that of Saudi Arabia, where the transfer window is still open. Or you’re on the bench and you don’t make the team for the rest of the season.”he assured in a podcast relayed by the Telegram.
Former Old Trafford goalkeeper Ben Foster adds that “it’s crazy. If Sir Alex Ferguson was Manchester United manager right now and Jadon Sancho did that, he would never see the light of day at Manchester United again.”. The future of Jadon Sancho therefore seems to be written far from an already badly embarked Manchester United. As a reminder, the Red Devils, placed in Group A of the Champions League group stage, will challenge Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
