Manchester United Players Urge Jadon Sancho to Apologize to Erik Ten Hag

Jadon Sancho has been at the center of a controversy with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag after being dropped from the squad for United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal earlier this month. Ten Hag made it clear that he was unhappy with Sancho’s effort levels, and in a now-deleted social media post, Sancho branded Ten Hag’s claims as ‘untrue’ and claimed he is being made a ‘scapegoat’.

Sancho has since been made to train alone, while reports this week have claimed that the winger has been banned by Ten Hag from all first-team facilities, including the team dining room, at the club’s training ground.

According to ESPN, some of Sancho’s teammates, including Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, have told the 23-year-old to apologize to Ten Hag in order to salvage his career at United. It’s understood that Sancho would need to offer an apology to Ten Hag to have any route back into the first-team squad.

The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) Offers to Step In

The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) has also offered to step in to resolve the rift between Sancho and Ten Hag. Sancho, who joined United in a £73 million deal from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, is understood to be open to leaving Old Trafford in the January transfer window. The winger had attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League earlier this month.

What Could Happen Next?

It remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved. If Sancho does not apologize to Ten Hag, it is likely that he will be frozen out of the first team and eventually sold in the January transfer window. On the other hand, if he does apologize, it is possible that he could be welcomed back into the fold and given another chance to prove himself.

Either way, it is clear that this situation needs to be resolved quickly in order for Manchester United to move forward. With the January transfer window fast approaching, it is important that both parties come to an agreement soon.
