Jadon Sancho’s situation at Manchester United seems to be getting worse with each passing day. Following his suspension, it seems like the player has been unhappy with his situation at the club. Fabrizio Romano recently touched on the topic on his YouTube channel as he added that the player felt the club was being hypocritical in his situation.
“As for Jadon Sancho, the situation is very intense, not just with Erik ten Hag but also with the rest of the coaching staff. They had different expectations from Jadon Sancho. It’s about the performance, it’s about the attitude. They completely expected a different performance from him and they are not pleased with the public statement after Erik Ten Hag’s public statements.”
“We also have to respect the player’s side. He believes that he is training at the top level and some of these rules at Manchester United are applied in different ways for different players. So Sancho feels like it’s always me but for some other players it is not the same.”
The Jadon Sancho situation is not the only issue that has set off the fans. The side was recently mocked by rival manager Pep Guardiola which might have set off the fans.
