    Ten Haag needs to rid himself and the club of Sancho. For his sake. For the club’s sake.

    Do what Klopp did with Sakho in his first season. Kick him out,make it clear, my way or get the fuck out.

    Watch that whole squad fall in line

    If United were a serious club, Sancho would have been out of the door as soon he was openly not 100% committed to Ten Hag’s project, just as City threw out Cancelo last year. Issue being is that they’ve never had any idea where to play him or how to get the best out of him, like basically all of their signings post Ferguson.

    Teacher here.

    Sancho is like that kid in high school who used to do all the work and had all the answers but hasn’t lifted a pencil in years while on thier phone not listening and now all of a sudden is realizing they have to put together a 3 page essay that was due yesterday and can’t for the life of them stitch together 5 sentences.

    City had these problems with him, that’s why he was sold. Even if he apologised tomorrow, he should still be shipped out. No one will pay him the wages he’s on at United though, so we’ll have to pay him off.

    So, exit it is then.

    He’s got no interest in apologising because that’s essentially backtracking on calling ETH a liar, which most will generally take to mean he was lying himself.

    For all the “United is a talent graveyard” comments (and they’re not entirely untrue) it’s so frustrating to have the ‘talent’ be so lazy and unmotivated.

      it’s so frustrating to have the ‘talent’ be so lazy and unmotivated

      Allegedly he was having mental health issues. It’s always odd to me that people say this kind of thing, but when a player speaks out about the abuse they get and how they are treated by the public everyone jumps on the bandwagon and shows sympathy. Unmotivated maybe, but maybe he has some shit going on that makes it difficult to do his job. If I expressed that I had a mental health issue and my boss started telling people I was lazy or whatever (if he said that) ain’t no way I’m apologizing about that.

      I guess now it’s time for people to dogpile until he comes out saying he lost a cousin or something and everyone will say people were too hard.

      Based on performances do you think he is lying? Like was he that bad on the pitch? iirc he had a good pre season.

      I still think there is a little bit of a pattern with talent going United and then fizzling out into nothing.

      The thing is a lot of talents you bought over the past years seem to be lazy and unmotivated but maybe that’s just survivorship bias on my side. It does look like there’s a lack of mental coaching going on.

        Generally people need to be motivated by something, and it seems like the club isn’t giving them much to be motivated or inspired by.

    From a business perspective I find it so weird how openly and loudly Manchester United are shouting that Sancho has zero place at the club currently. Every week there’s a new story or ‘leak’ that devalues their own asset.

      They read more like Sancho leaks than United’s.

      The latest has a pithy tone of him being isolated from training solo, etc.

      United wouldn’t leak it like that.

      They will loan him, then when the other club try to buy him they will try to get " return on investment" and the sale wouldn’t go through

      your first mistake is to assume these articles are coming from united “business”

      this one is obviously a leak from a player or players and the other article making rounds today is clearly from jadons camp w the amount of “not my boy its all them” in the article

      united released one obvious briefing and that was early on, detailing the infraction, response, rationale, and backing ten hag.

      second mistake is to assume we’re trying to sell him in the first place. we’re trying to reintegrate him, which is why theres only been one briefing from united pet journalists that outlined nothing but a path back

      if he gets sold, thats the worst case and a loss in all avenues anyway. theres no need to shine him up. and so the only time a united let journalist has come out, its been to say “this is what jadon did, this is the punishment and why, this is how he can come back”

    Maybe stop paying young players absurd amount of money making them believe they got long well paid contracts, they completed football, don’t need to do anything anymore.

        I don’t think there are any managers that David Beckham played under that would ever accuse him of being anything less than a consummate professional

      problem is we cant do that cause we refuse to hit a hard reset on the wage bill

      we asked Sancho “what wages”. he pointed out at Martial’s 250k per week contract and said “way more than that since im double the player”.

      Arsenal had the same issues until they just bit the bullet and fucked every overpaid player off.

    tbh it’s probably better for his career to go on loan and potentially get back in form. And ETH might not even be there once gets back.

    This is like that situation where Tony punches Ralph Cifaretto in season 3
