It seems that not everything is right between Jadon Sancho and Erik Ten Hag. Sancho has not been at his best ever since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund. It was thought that Erik Ten Hag could revive his career at Man United. But alas, it hasn’t worked out so far. Now, after being benched against Arsenal, Jadon Sancho got into a verbal altercation with Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag on Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho’s manager attributed his exclusion from United’s travelling team for the 3-1 loss at the Emirates on “performances in training.”
Ten Hag said, “We did not select Jadon because of his performances in training. You have to reach a certain level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected.”
Jadon Sancho though is not one to sit back and hold his thoughts. The English winger quickly put out a statement against his Dutch coach.
Sancho’s statement
In his statement, Jadon Sancho said, ‘I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair.’
He continued, ‘All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what.‘
Jadon Sancho, 23, transferred from Borussia Dortmund to United in 2021 for a fee of £73 million. With 12 goals in 82 games, he has had a mixed record with Manchester.
Sancho this season
This season, Sancho is competing for a spot on the wing alongside players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho. He has appeared in each of United’s first three Premier League games, although only as a substitute.

Sun Sport columnist Piers Morgan has even offered Sancho the chance to go on his TalkTV show uncensored to speak out further. Arsenal fan Morgan tweeted, “Hi Jadon, come on @PiersUncensored and I’ll get you out of this Ten Hag nightmare.”
Jadon Sancho was part of Manchester City’s setup for a while. Then, he left to Borussia Dortmund and really impressed everyone in his stint in Germany. But, now after his move to the Red Devils, he hasn’t shown his full array of skills.
Ten Hag is not known to take well to clap-backs. This statement by Sancho might come to bite him back as well.
