Erik Ten Hag on Jadon Sancho’s exclusion: “I had a choice to make. We had some issues, we need a full squad. He’s one of them and needs to compete for his position”.

  1. He’s seems to just be an expensive mistake. I think clubs had to follow a wage spiral because of chelsea, man city and psg etc. 

    Now with chelsea reversing their strategy maybe it’ll be harder to get the fat salaries? Just guessing…

  2. It’s quite clear he doesn’t have a future at the club and the manager doesn’t want to play him. Will we get this question every week until he leaves?

  3. Talk about how to devalue a multi million pound asset. Yeah you might not want him but he’s proved at Dortmund there’s a player there. So at the very least include him in the squad and pretend like he’s a part of the team if only to retain some value.

  4. Man how do you f&ck up a career that badly under the age of 25. Even the sick f&ck called Mason Gr…. plays more and is wanted more (by clubs) than Sancho

  5. Yeah, he needs to go at this point. Don’t see how he can stay now with what happened.

  6. Manu checklist last 3 seasons now?:
    1) Interesting signings during summer – check
    2) injury on important players – check
    3) Sancho problem – check
    4) Rashford problem – pending

  7. The obvious conclusion to draw is that he must be on his way to Juve but as his wages are a sticking point apparently, there might be other things going on…

    It could still be that he plans on staying and ETH genuinely thinks Antony is more deserving on a place on the bench (I’m biased in that I really don’t rate Antony so I just can’t see it)

    The other possible scenario is that when he and ETH buried the hatchet ETH told him he can come back into the squad but he’d start at the bottom and have to work his way up to even getting a place on the bench.

    If this is true it could potentially be amazing man management from ETH as the main things being called into question with Sancho are his punctuality, work ethic and application in training. Saying to him- you can come into the match day squad when and only when you’ve proven to have addressed these issues successfully.

    Obviously the most likely explanation is we’re not risking an injury to him when we’re about to move him on but as a deluded United fan I want to convince myself ETHs given him this ultimatum, challenged him to prove himself behind closed doors and Sancho’s gonna keep his head down and rise to the challenge.
