Jadon Sancho axed from squad - The verdict
Jadon Sancho has been told to train on his own at Carrington for the foreseeable future.
This is a real issue for Manchester United. Arguably a bigger one that Cristiano Ronaldo considering how they will also trying to protect Jadon Sancho's value as his career meets a crossroads.
It's another sign of the problems that exist at Manchester United and it seems only an apology can save Sancho's bacon at Old Trafford.
This is a player that has hardly impressed us in a Red shirt since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 and it's time for him to pull his socks up. There’s a lot more to this than saying sorry to Erik ten Hag for their public spat, which ultimately overshadowed the international break for everyone.
Verdict
Everyone was disappointed to see Sancho throw his toys out of the drama, but anyone surprised has easily forgotten about the disciplinary issues he had at Man City and Borussia Dortmund.
It doesn’t take very long to wonder why isn’t getting selected for England and it’s not some ABU conspiracy.
Ultimately, I think he needs to think carefully about his next step because I won’t lose sleep if he’s trying to salvage his career in *cough* the Saudi Pro League.
I suspect Erik ten Hag will double down and show him the door.
