Sancho going public shows he wants Man Utd exit - Bent

Manchester United ace Jadon Sancho may have lost patience with his circumstances at the club.

That is the view of former Sunderland striker Darren Bent, who spoke about Sancho's situation.

The winger's public criticism of manager Erik ten Hag has led to suggestions he may be sold by United in January.

“If he had the intention of staying at Manchester United, of wanting to stay at the club, or had a burning desire to stay, you do it in-house," Bent said on talkSPORT.

“You go to the manager's office and you say, 'look, I don't really like what you did there. If my training standards are not good enough, then just tell me'.

“I'm sure he's told him before and then we will try and deal with it.

“But the fact he went public tells me he wants out of there. He's had enough.

“Maybe the challenge is too big for him, which is a shame because he's got a lot of ability, he's got talent. Maybe the Premier League is too quick for him."
