Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has openly acknowledged that Jadon Sancho’s time at the club has not been fruitful. In a candid discussion with Sky, Ten Hag expressed that Sancho’s tenure at United has been fraught with challenges.
“We have had issues all the way through… his stay here at United so far is not a success,” Ten Hag told Sky, indicating that the English attacker’s performance did not meet expectations during his time at Old Trafford.
Sancho, who plays as an attacker, has struggled to consistently showcase the form that earned him a move to the Premier League giants. Despite his potential and the high hopes that accompanied his arrival, his impact has been less than anticipated.
The Dutch manager also conveyed his good wishes for Sancho’s future as he returns to Borussia Dortmund (BVB), the club from which he originally transferred to Manchester United. “I wish him the best of luck at BVB,” Ten Hag said, signaling a supportive stance towards the player’s next chapter in the Bundesliga.
Ten Hag’s comments suggest a hope for revival in Sancho’s career, with the manager adding, “I hope, we hope, he’s doing very well there, he will be successful and then we will see what is going to happen.” This indicates that while Sancho’s time at Manchester United may not have panned out as hoped, there remains a possibility for his return to form at his former club.
Sancho’s move back to Borussia Dortmund marks a significant turn in his career trajectory, as he seeks to recapture the performances that made him one of England’s most promising attackers. Manchester United and its management will be keeping a keen eye on his progress in Germany.
