Sancho hoping for fresh Man Utd chance

Jadon Sancho isn't giving up on his Manchester United career.

The winger will meet with Erik ten Hag on Monday after criticising his manager online having been dropped for last Sunday's defeat at Arsenal.

But CBS's Ben Jacobs told GiveMeSport: "I think Jadon Sancho was very disappointed by Erik ten Hag's comments that he, effectively, didn't perform in training, and that's why he wasn't in the Arsenal squad.

"Erik ten Hag is equally disappointed to see an immediate response in public. I suppose you can look at it both ways because if a manager can say what he thinks about a player in public, then a player may argue he's entitled to respond.

"But we sort of saw this in very different circumstances with Cristiano Ronaldo, where the whole saga and fallout between Erik ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United played out in public.

"Erik ten Hag won a lot of plaudits for how he handled that situation. We know that Ten Hag is sometimes quite firm but largely seen by the Manchester United squad as fair in his actions as well.

"Sancho, who still wants to stay at Manchester United, may be even more galvanised now to prove his manager wrong."
