Jadon Sancho was absent from the new season photo shoot with all Manchester United players and coaching staff, which is not surprising information. But from there we also understand an important issue, Sancho’s time in the Red Devils shirt is gradually drifting towards its final days.
A clear result when the relationship between the English midfielder and his teacher Erik ten Hag shows no signs of healing after the scandal that took place 6 weeks ago. Sancho still maintains his stance of not accepting an apology from Erik ten Hag despite advice from his teammates. This move will lead to only one consequence. Sancho must leave immediately!
It’s almost certain that coach Erik ten Hag will do everything he can to get Sancho out of Old Trafford as soon as the winter market opens, whether in the form of a permanent purchase or just a short-term loan contract. That’s more than enough!
Amid a stormy season both on and off the field, from the team’s performance to the shocking stories behind the scenes, the team’s board of directors continues to face pain. The first player is named Sancho – a player brought in 2 years ago for 85 million euros, earning a salary of 350,000 euros/week but has never shown himself worthy of that compensation.
The “rice is not good, the soup is not sweet” relationship between Erik ten Hag and Sancho has brought us back to the situation of Man Utd 5 years ago when Jose Mourinho also publicly criticized Paul Pogba harshly, even though This story has never been directly exposed to the media by the Portuguese strategist like Erik ten Hag.
Specifically, after many disappointing results for Man Utd in the 2018/2019 season, especially the 2-2 draw against Southampton with the focus being on the superficiality of Pogba’s playing style, Mourinho scolded the midfielder. Frenchman right in the dressing room: “You don’t play football. You don’t respect your teammates and fans. You kill the spirit of honest people around you. You are like a person with the flu, carrying the virus and transmitting it to others.”
And the results we also know. Mourinho had to be immediately fired just 2 weeks later. And Pogba had the opportunity to show off to his teammates and at the same time post offensive posts on his page. After all, time has proven that Mourinho was right when he commented on Pogba. And Man Utd’s Board of Directors made a mistake when they chose to defend Pogba instead of trusting the Special One. Pogba was the pillar that helped the French team conquer the 2018 World Cup, but was just a “ghost” lingering at Man Utd for many years, a seed of disaster in the club’s dressing room, until the day he left.
Five years have passed since that moment, and now Sancho is also a “second Pogba” at Old Trafford. But this time it is almost certain that history will not repeat itself. Man Utd wants to regain the glory of the past, and the team’s board of directors understands that they must forcefully remove every “disease-causing virus” from that team. Erik ten Hag’s hot seat may not be guaranteed even though the Red Devils are showing signs of revival, but Sancho needs to leave.
Man Utd cannot be stronger when they still have the presence of a player who is undisciplined in training and lacks determination in competition, but still constantly preaches that he has tried to work hard every day. day. In this underground war at Man Utd, Sancho is the loser. Not only Erik ten Hag, but in the past Cristiano Ronaldo and his former team Dortmund also criticized Sancho’s indiscipline. People also discovered this player engrossed in playing games while the whole team was preparing for a difficult match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in September.
Seeing everything gradually come to an end as it is now, Sancho should only blame himself. Erik ten Hag was very patient with the winger born in 2000, sending him to the Netherlands for 3 months to practice and find inspiration to play football amid pressure from the British media after being eliminated. from the list to participate in the 2022 World Cup. However, responding to that sincerity is only more manifestations of undisciplined behavior.
Sancho’s stubbornness and stubbornness are deeply ingrained in this player’s personality. When he was just 17 years old, Sancho refused to listen to Pep Guardiola’s advice to calmly stay at Manchester City for a few more years like Phil Foden and instead insisted on moving to Dortmund – where the red carpet and salary were up to 75,000 euros/week just waiting for you to sign. That level of compensation immediately turned Sancho into one of the highest-paid U18 players in soccer at that time.
At this point, we understand the reason behind Sancho’s disobedience. Money and fame come too quickly, and too easily, making players born in 2000 complacent. The title of player with the highest transfer value in Dortmund was used by Sancho to turn himself into the biggest star at Signal Iduna Park. That’s when the seeds of indiscipline begin to form. Sancho began to form the habit of staying up all night playing games, leading to a lack of sleep and often being late to practice. Many times Sancho is absent without reason for 2 or 3 days after weekend matches. In addition, during the period of social distancing due to COVID-19, Sancho ignored the ban from Dortmund’s Board of Directors. German media has several times recorded the moment Sancho held a party with friends in his mansion. It is no coincidence that within just one year, Dortmund’s Board of Directors agreed to reduce the transfer request to 85 million euros compared to 120 million euros in the summer of 2020.
As humans, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. However, some mistakes can be forgiven and some mistakes cannot be forgiven. Phil Foden was involved in a scandal when he had sex with a call girl while on the England team and was “banned” by coach Gareth Southgate for 2 months. But the Man City star immediately rushed into practice to make up for his mistake. Like Bukayo Saka, one of three names that missed a penalty kick in the Euro 2020 final like Sancho, received a lot of unfair treatment from fans, but with determination, Saka gradually regained it. Faith and love from those who had spurned him before. As for Sancho, if he doesn’t wake up soon, even if he moves to another team, this player’s career will hardly prosper.
