Jadon Sancho is the forgotten man at Manchester United, allowing his once very promising career to slip away as he refuses to apologise to his manager.
Erik ten Hag has been reluctant to back down with the former England international, and Sancho has been training away from his teammates.
A January transfer has looked inevitable, with various clubs linked in recent weeks. There’s been Italian reports of interest from Juventus, and the Turin club are likely eyeing a bargain loan which would see little or no fee and Manchester United continuing to pay a percentage of his wages.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has taken to Twitter X to give his view on how the situation currently stands.
He says a loan with an option to buy is the most realistic scenario and that there’s no fixed price. All of that goes without saying, and isn’t really anything to write home about.
However, Plettenberg also adds that Sancho is first waiting to see what happens before January with regards to the club and the ‘owner etc’.
The assumption there would be he hopes a new shareholder could tell Ten Hag to pick him, or indeed move for a new manager.
That’s probably still not going to go down well with many supporters.
