MEN
Finally. After a spat which lasted months, dragged all parties’ names through the mud and severely hindered Manchester United’s squad options, Jadon Sancho has got his wish.
The United winger has signed a loan deal with former club Borussia Dortmund for six months. While his exit from Manchester is not permanent, this is quite likely to be the end for him as far as his involvement under Erik ten Hag is concerned.
Ten Hag graciously wished Sancho well in his first press conference since the forward’s departure for Germany. However, there is no doubting he would have been unimpressed by the 23-year-old’s social media activity in the hours which have followed the official announcement.
Choosing to reactivate his social media, Sancho preceded to share plenty of images of him back out on the grass. “Good to be back on the pitch,” the Englishman posted while smiling in a training session.
But what the tweet failed to mention was it was his actions which led to his absence from the training ground. It is widely understood a simple apology to Ten Hag would have ended the exile but Sancho felt the deletion of the post which claimed he had been ‘scapegoated’ by the club in September was enough.
Clearly the winger knew he was in the wrong to some degree, or else he would not have chosen to delete the post, although there was no great desire to come back into the fold at United. If there was, he would have bowed to Ten Hag’s demand.
