Jadon Sancho is open to the idea of leaving Manchester United during the January transfer window if his current situation continues until the end of the year. Sancho finds himself sidelined due to a disciplinary matter that arose after he accused United manager Erik ten Hag of dishonesty regarding his absence from the matchday squad in a recent 3-1 Premier League defeat against Arsenal. Although Sancho deleted the tweet, he has yet to issue a public apology. Sources close to the winger suggest that it might be in his best interest to seek a new opportunity elsewhere. Potential destinations, as reported by Manchester Evening News, include Borussia Dortmund, where Sancho previously played for four years, and Nottingham Forest, managed by Steve Cooper, who happens to be Sancho’s favorite coach from his time with the England Under-17 squad.
In contemplating such a move, it’s worth considering the broader perspective. While transferring from Manchester United to Nottingham Forest might be viewed as a step down, it could be a strategic decision for Sancho. It would bring him back under the guidance of former England Under-17 manager Cooper, someone whom Sancho holds in high regard as his all-time favorite coach.
