Jadon Sancho was absent from the new season photo shoot with all Manchester United players and coaching staff, which is not surprising information. But from there we also understand an important issue, that Sancho’s time in the Red Devils shirt is gradually drifting towards its final days.
A clear result when the relationship between the English midfielder and his teacher Erik ten Hag shows no signs of healing after the scandal that took place 6 weeks ago. Sancho still maintains his stance of not accepting an apology to Erik ten Hag despite advice from his teammates. This move will lead to only one consequence. Sancho must leave immediately!
It’s almost certain that coach Erik ten Hag will do everything he can to get Sancho out of Old Trafford as soon as the winter market opens, whether in the form of a permanent purchase or just a short-term loan contract. That’s more than enough!
In the midst of a stormy season both on and off the field, from the team’s performance to the shocking stories behind the scenes, the team’s board of directors continues to face pain. The first player is named Sancho – a player brought in 2 years ago for 85 million euros, earning a salary of 350,000 euros/week but has never shown himself worthy of that compensation.
The “rice is not good, the soup is not sweet” relationship between Erik ten Hag and Sancho, has brought us back to the situation of Man Utd 5 years ago, when Jose Mourinho also publicly criticized Paul Pogba harshly, even though This story has never been directly exposed to the media by the Portuguese strategist like Erik ten Hag.
Specifically, after many disappointing results of Man Utd in the 2018/2019 season, especially the 2-2 draw against Southampton with the focus being on the superficiality of Pogba’s playing style, Mourinho scolded the midfielder. Frenchman right in the dressing room: “You don’t play football. You don’t respect your teammates and fans. You kill the spirit of honest people around you. You are like a person with the flu, carrying the virus and transmitting it to others.”
And the results we also know. Mourinho had to be immediately fired just 2 weeks later. And Pogba had the opportunity to show off to his teammates and at the same time post offensive posts on his personal page. After all, time has proven that Mourinho was right when he commented on Pogba. And Man Utd’s Board of Directors made a mistake when they chose to defend Pogba instead of trusting the Special One. A Pogba was the pillar that helped the French team conquer the 2018 World Cup, but was just a “ghost” lingering at Man Utd for many years, a seed of disaster in the club’s dressing room, until the day he left.
