The dispute between former BVB star Jadon Sancho and his team manager at Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, is escalating more and more.
Jadon Sancho is increasingly isolated at England’s record champions Manchester United. As the British newspaper “Daily Mirror” reports, the winger is no longer just excluded from training with the first team.
The 23-year-old offensive player was also banned from all Manchester United first team facilities – even from the professional dining room. Sancho therefore has to eat his food with the young players.
The ex-Dortmunder had publicly complained to X at the beginning of the month about his alleged role as a “scapegoat” and sharply attacked team manager ten Hag. The former BVB star wrote that he had been repeatedly singled out as the culprit for the team’s problems “for a long time,” responding to critical statements from his coach, who had previously not named him in the squad for the top game against Arsenal.
Jadon Sancho never again for Manchester United?
Ten Hag, in turn, justified the exclusion with poor training performance. Sancho, meanwhile, claimed there were “other reasons” for the Dutchman’s decision.
The United team manager then took tough action and banned the attacker from the professional training group. The “disciplinary penalty” applies until the matter is resolved.
Ten Hag recently even suggested that Sancho might never play for Manchester United again. “I don’t know,” said the Dutchman last Friday when asked whether the former Dortmund player would wear the Red Devils jersey again.
Sancho has recently been linked to several clubs due to his rosy future in Manchester. Since the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is now closed, he will stay in the northwest of England at least until the winter.
