Jadon Sancho can’t seem to catch a break anytime soon. The former Borussia Dortmund winger has found himself in a number of problems ever since he arrived in 2021. Fitness problems, injuries, and bad patches of form led to him being dropped frequently.
He was left out of the squad against Arsenal, and then his own manager, Erik Ten Haag, revealed to the media that he was not training properly. Sancho then hit back in a Twitter post, claiming he will not be the scapegoat. He has since deleted that post.
Sancho situation clarified by United
After the whole spat, it was revealed that a meeting would be taking place between Sancho and the manager. Unfortunately, it appears that the meeting made things worse, with Sancho refusing to apologize for his comments on social media. According to the Athletic, this has made any working relationship impossible to repair.
He was also reportedly angry that there were plans to sell him off in the final days of the transfer window. Saudi club Al Ettifaq reportedly wanted to buy him, but it wasn’t possible.
United are said to be very disappointed in the player due to his reluctance to apologize.
United then released a statement on their official website regarding the player, which said,
“Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.”
So basically, Jadon has been banished from the main team until a resolution can be found between the two parties.
Jadon Sancho spotted with U-18 side
Soon after Jadon Sancho was left out of the squad, a new leak showed the player already doing something else.
As the main team prepared for their game against Brighton, Sancho was seen at his club’s Carrington training ground as the club’s U-18 team played against Nottingham Forest, which they won 2-1.
Sancho still hasn’t made any public appearances or made any statements regarding the matter.
Manchester United later lost the game 3-1 against Brighton, and in the post-match conference, they talked to the media about Sancho. He said he would possibly never pick Sancho in his squad again.
United are also facing other problems, as they have also suspended winger Antony due to ongoing investigations into his alleged domestic abuse crimes. Jadon Sancho himself could soon leave the club in January, either to Saudi Arabia or another Premier League club, though former club Dortmund are also interested in reuniting.
The team will later travel to Munich for their opening Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on September 21. Stay tuned with Sportszion to get further updates.
