From the position of a blockbuster contract, Jadon Sancho slipped and fell in form before getting into a war of words with coach Erik ten Hag.

Man United is going through stormy days. Erik ten Hag’s army started struggling in the Premier League. After the first four rounds, the Red Devils ranked 11th on the rankings, gaining 6 points with two wins and two defeats.

After the 1-3 defeat against Arsenal, the Jadon Sancho scandal broke out, causing even more confusion within Man United. The English star was removed from the list of registrations by Ten Hag against the Gunners.

Sancho refuted Ten Hag’s statement when he said that he did not practice well enough. The rebound of the Dutch strategist pushed Sancho’s future into a dark situation.

Sancho lost his starting position at Man United.

From the position of a blockbuster contract under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Sancho slipped and lost his form. The 23-year-old star shows two contrasting images in the colors of Borussia Dortmund and Man United.

Sancho exploded at BVB, contributing 50 goals and 64 assists after 137 appearances on the field. At the age of 21, the English winger is considered one of the most promising young talents in world football.

Sancho had a conflict with Ten Hag.

Two years later, everything reversed. Sancho faded and lost his starting spot at Old Trafford. After 82 appearances for the Red Devils, Sancho contributed only 12 goals and 6 assists.

The statistics do not match the price of 107 million USD Man United paid to own Sancho from Dortmund. Sancho has gone through a journey full of ups and downs since arriving at Old Trafford.

Slow start

Sancho received great expectations during his first days at Man United. “ His records, goals and assists prove his talent. Sancho will add strength, speed and creativity to the team’s play,” Ole shared.

Sancho landed at Man United under Ole.

Things did not go according to Ole’s plan. In addition to slow adaptation, Sancho has physical problems when playing in a physical and powerful environment like the Premier League.

The strong fluctuations on the training bench invisibly affected Sancho. Ralf Rangnick replacing Ole did not bring many positive signs for the English player. At the end of his first season, Sancho had 5 goals and 3 assists.

Confidence declines

After a lackluster first season, Sancho is expected to regain his form in his second year with Man United. However, the appearance of Ten Hag did not help the former Dortmund star much.

Sancho was replaced at half-time in the match between Man United and Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League 2022/2023. Marcus Rashford was brought on by Ten Hag to replace Sancho.

There are signs of rift within Man United.

Rashford was the author of the double goal that helped Man United win the final 3-2 against Omonia Nicosia. Many experts believe that Sancho lost his confidence when he was still playing for Dortmund.

Sharing with Vibe with Five, Rio Ferdinand said: “The confidence and pride when Sancho first arrived at Man United is no longer there. Sometimes Sancho plays back, not making crosses. Sancho makes too many passes home.”

Now, Sancho faces an uncertain future. According to the British press, Sancho may face internal punishment after publicly criticizing Ten Hag.
