Jadon Sancho's position at Manchester United is in serious doubt after a public falling-out with their manager
One of his former youth coaches with England, speaking – along with other sources in this piece – on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, described him as a “wonderful boy”. Sancho was seen as a team player; the type of creative, maverick talent that English football has too often shunned.
One source close to the German club noted that although “Jadon was mentally tough on the pitch” he could be “quite childish and unprofessional with little things”. Occasionally missing team meetings or oversleeping were viewed as problematic. It got to the point where Edin Terzic, Lucien Favre’s assistant at Dortmund, would personally knock on Sancho’s hotel room door to pick him up before meetings.
United, however, felt they could create a better environment for him at their Carrington training centre, where he would want to be at his best every day. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, then United’s manager, had designs on challenging for trophies and hoped that would stimulate Sancho to the fullest.’s arrival at the end of that same summer transfer window.
On the pitch, there was little respite. Sancho was generally seen as having a good attitude and a high level of fitness, while also being open to taking on board advice on technical aspects of his game, but his first season was blighted by Solskjaer’s sacking in November 2021. Sancho started last season positively, scoring three times in eight games, and was a regular fixture in Ten Hag’s starting XI.
