The harsh statements crossed between Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho, the last mess at Old Trafford
Manchester United fails to keep the waters calm at this start of the course
Manchester United seeks to recover the greatness that placed it as one of the best teams in the world, but this trip is being more complicated than expected. Last year they managed to return to the Champions League with some peace of mind, not without going through various problems during the season. This has not started differently and, after what happened with Greenwood, already out of the club, another very different conflict plagues the team.
After the defeat against Arsenal (3-1), the second in the Premier League against one of the greats, Ten Hag attacked one of his players, Jadon Sancho. The Dutch coach stated that the winger was left out of the call “because of his performance in training”. Having started from the bench in the first three, in the latter he did not even travel with the team.
The statements did not sit well with the footballer, who moments later published a statement in which he asked that: “Please don’t believe everything you read!”in direct reference to the words of his coach.

“I will not allow people to say things that are not true, as I have behaved very well in every training session this week.. I will not go into the matter, because I have been a scapegoat for a long time and it is not fair, “continued his writing.
His message calling the coach a liar has not gone down well and ex-legends of the club such as Rio Ferdinand have already declared that he was wrong.
An ‘incomplete’ transfer market
Although it is true that a center forward has been incorporated, as the coach urgently demanded, this is not from Harry Kane’s entity. The new Bayern Munich player was in the crosshairs of the Red Devils for a long time and would undoubtedly have radically changed the team. It was not completed and they opted for Hojlund, who has a great future (20 years old), but it is still not clear that he can be the team’s offensive reference. Last year he added 9 goals in Serie A.
The one who is called to continue being so is Rashford, who opened his scoring account this season at the Emirates. The team’s four previous goals had been scored by either center backs or midfielders. Without minutes for Sancho, the attacking positions are divided between Antony, Garnacho and Martial, who are not proven scorers either. Mount also arrived, who is currently injured.
To reinforce the side, he arrived in the last bars of the Reguilón market. Ten Hag continues to bet on the Dalot – Wan-Bissaka couple, two footballers who do not quite convince. Maguire, who lost the team captaincy this summer, played his first minutes in the center of defense.
The results have not accompanied and this last public confrontation does nothing more than make the controversy surrounding the team. There is never a quiet day at United.
