“When It’s [Cristiano] Ronaldo, It’s Different” – Banished Jadon Sancho Is ‘Overestimating’ Himself at Manchester United, Says Dimitar Berbatov

The saga between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag continues to escalate. Ever since the Red Devils winger had a highly publicized fallout with his manager, both have been in the spotlight. As the soccer fraternity continues to discuss their situation, Manchester United legend Dimitar Berbatov has cited Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting Jadon Sancho is ‘overestimating’ himself at United.

With Sancho also being reportedly adamant about apologizing, the Dutch coach has decided to drop him off the squad and banished him from training with the team.

Dimitar Berbatov cites Cristiano Ronaldo as he warns Sancho of overvaluing himself

Jadon Sancho’s situation took a heated turn when he took to social media and claimed that he was unfairly singled out as a ‘scapegoat’ by his manager, Erik ten Hag, following his exclusion from the team due to subpar training performances. Since making this public declaration, the English winger has not made an appearance for Manchester United and continues to decline to apologize for his outspoken comments.

While these developments have cast a shadow of uncertainty over Sancho’s future, United legend Dimitar Berbatov suggests that the 23-year-old may have made an ill-advised choice by airing his grievances so publicly. He said, “Sometimes a player, and I hope this isn’t the case for Sancho, who takes this long to resolve conflict has overestimated his own value to the club. When it’s Ronaldo, it’s different as he’s achieved everything.”

Berbatov believes that Ronaldo’s unapologetic behavior might be tolerated a bit, as the Al Nassr star has already achieved everything. However, the legend asserts that Jadon Sancho has yet to make a significant impact at Old Trafford.

Indeed, Berbatov’s words are likely to make Sancho reconsider his feud with ten Hag. Consequently, the former Borussia Dortmund star has already been banished from the squad. But what exactly happened between Erik ten Hag and the Englishman? Let’s dive deeper.

Things are going downhill for Jadon Sancho at Old Trafford. In response to ten Hag’s public remarks about his inadequate training, Sancho issued a statement refuting the United boss’s allegations. He asserted that his training performances were satisfactory. However, he has not extended an apology to the Dutch manager to date.

Prior to the Red Devils’ narrow win over Burnley, ten Hag insisted on not keeping the winger in the squad. The former Ajax coach insists it “depends on him” if he wants to be back in the team. Meanwhile, United released a statement that Sancho is training individually and is not with the first team. Certainly, the situation doesn’t look good. It remains to be seen what development unfolds.
