Jadon Sancho is reportedly subject to late interest from the Saudi Pro League.
There is uncertainty over Sancho’s future following a public spat with Erik ten Hag, however, it’s risky for United to lose an attacking player at a time the manager doesn’t many options.
That said, we can’t afford to keep unhappy players that are going to bring negative attention towards the club. The club is already under enormous pressure over the Antony’s domestic abuse allegations.
Sancho was accused of not meeting the required standards in training when Ten Hag was asked why he didn’t make the squad for Sunday’s 3-1 defeat against Arsenal.
If he didn’t issue a public statement calling the manager a liar, there’s a good chance he gets more game time after the international break. Now I’m not so sure, with CBS Sports linking Sancho with a loan move to Al Ettifaq before the Saudi market closes.
It depends on how bad the situation is, and ultimately I think the decision should be made by the manager. He should be one to decide whether keeping Sancho is worth the hassle.
The England international didn’t show himself in a good light at the weekend.
