Jadon Sancho urged to apologise to Erik ten Hag by Steve Bruce

Manchester United legend Steve Bruce has urged Jadon Sancho to apologise to Erik ten Hag as it is the only way their feud can be ended.

Sancho is currently frozen out at Old Trafford after an unseemly spat with his manager played out in public. Ten Hag criticised the winger for not performing in training, with the former Borussia Dortmund man accusing the Dutchman of lying in an explosive social media post as he claimed he was being made a scapegoat.

The 23-year-old has not been involved in the first team since and Ten Hag was tight-lipped on his future after the Red Devils beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, saying: ‘I don’t talk about players who are not available.’

Bruce urges Sancho to apologise

It was put to Ten Hag that Sancho has deleted his Instagram account, which could be a step in the right direction, to which the manager said: ‘I don’t know, it’s up to him.’

Bruce, who played over 400 times for Manchester United, says that the only way forward is for Sancho to eat humble pie and apologise to his manager and teammates, then they can move forward from there.

‘The only way this is going to be resolved is if he goes in to say to the manager that he apologises,’ Bruce told Sky Sports. ‘And he apologises to his teammates.

‘He can’t go on social media and start criticising the coach. At the end of the day he’s the boss and he makes the decisions so there’s got to be a little bit of respect there.

‘I would urge him to get in there, knock on the door and see if they can work things out.

‘The kid’s a talented player, we haven’t really seen the best of him here, but we know he’s got really, really good ability. But he can’t have the issue now where there’s rules for one and rules for another. Ten Hag’s been like that since he’s walked through the door, he will not put up with this ill-discipline.’

Sancho’s future at Manchester United

Sancho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain as he continues to be frozen out by Ten Hag. The winger has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with former club Borussia Dortmund reportedly interested in bringing him back to Germany.

However, Bruce believes that the only way for Sancho to get back into the first team is to apologise and show that he is willing to work hard and abide by Ten Hag’s rules.

He said: “If he wants to stay at Manchester United then he must show respect and do what is asked of him. He must prove that he is willing to work hard and follow the rules set by Ten Hag.”

The situation between Sancho and Ten Hag has been ongoing for some time now, and it remains to be seen how it will be resolved. For now, it appears that Bruce’s advice is the only way forward for both parties.
