Public falling out with Ten Hag

Sancho fought back by writing a remarkable message on X, formerly Twitter. He accused Ten Hag of telling untruths about his exclusion and claimed the coach wanted him to play “Scapegoat” make. Although it wasn’t exactly clear – the scapegoat for what?

For Sancho That meant that in the already densely populated United-There was one less place available on the offensive and the royal transfer was suddenly in the shadow of the famous Portuguese.

A lost appearance

Ronaldo has that Old Trafford long since left again, but Sanchonow 23 years old, is still a lost figure two years after his return from Germany Man United. With a total of twelve goals and six assists, he is well below expectations. Under none of the three coaches he was in Manchester has already experienced (Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick, Erik ten Hag), he was able to establish himself permanently. He is last behind in the hierarchy of wingers Marcus RashfordAntony and the boys Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Pellistri slipped.
