Jadon Sancho is reportedly set to push for a January transfer away from Manchester United following a confrontational discussion with Erik ten Hag. Sources suggest that the working relationship between the English winger and his demanding Dutch coach has irreparably deteriorated at Old Trafford. As there seems to be no path to reconciliation, all parties are expected to seek a mutually beneficial move when the next transfer window opens.
Ten Hag made the decision to omit Sancho from the squad for a Premier League match against Arsenal, citing poor training performances as the rationale. In response, Sancho issued a statement in which the 23-year-old forward asserted that he had been unfairly singled out as a “scapegoat.” Subsequent talks between Sancho and his club manager have reportedly left little doubt that a separation is now inevitable.
A loan deal in January is believed to be the most likely option, with provisions for a potential permanent transfer in the summer of 2024.
