What does the future hold for Jadon Sancho after being banned from first-team facilities at Manchester United?
After being barred from Manchester United’s first-team facilities, what does Jadon Sancho’s future hold?
After a public argument following United’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal earlier this month, the United winger was banished from the Dutchman’s team.
After the game, Ten Hag stated that Sancho’s exclusion from the United team for the trip to the Emirates was based on “his performances in training.”
The England international responded angrily, practically calling his boss a liar as he termed the allegations “completely untrue” and claimed he was being used as a “scapegoat” in a lengthy social media post.
Sancho disabled his Instagram account on Tuesday and has since erased the social media post.
Sancho, a £73 million acquisition from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, has generally disappointed since arriving at United, with just 12 goals and 6 assists in 82 games across all competitions.
In this article, Mail Sport looks at Sancho’s options for reviving his career.
Keep fighting for his position.
Despite appearances to the contrary, Sancho might still have a future at United. Even if he has mainly underperformed in his two seasons at Old Trafford, it’s simple to overlook the fact that he is still only 23.
Ten Hag had previously claimed that Sancho wants to enjoy his football following a challenging season.
He is currently feeling really positive. At the end of July, he added, “He decides how he is, how his attitude and energy is.
We have all noticed his high level of enthusiasm ever since he returned. He aspires to both success and enjoyment in football.
Following the Dutchman’s public argument with the player, the gushing praise has become nothing more than a distant memory. In order for Sancho to play for United once more, he must first apologize to Ten Hag, something he has adamantly refused to do.
At the same time, Sancho may be forced to change his mind by the possibility of being barred from the club until January and maybe stuck there until the conclusion of the season.
Exit with the Saudis
Earlier this month, Sancho was said to be moving to Saudi Arabia, but that never happened since Al-Ettifaq refused to pay United’s asking price.
After signing Jordan Henderson from Liverpool and Demarai Gray from Everton, the team led by Steven Gerrard launched a daring attempt to capture the winger on loan, according to Mail Sport.
It is believed that United and the Saudi Pro League club communicated with one another through middlemen after Sancho indicated interest in relocating to the Middle East.
However, the agreement included a buyout clause that the Dammam-based club could not pay, even if United were willing to let him join Ettifaq on loan for the remainder of the season for free.
Although moving to Saudi Arabia would undoubtedly result in financial gains, at the age of 23, would Sancho accept to leave the Premier League for the Middle East?
We may well find out in January.
