Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has taken a clear swipe at Jadon Sancho after his temporary loan transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
The 23-year-old rejoined the Bundesliga giants on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign earlier this week.
Ten Hag banished Sancho from the first-team squad after the forward’s social media outburst against him.
The Dutchman was quizzed on what went wrong with Sancho at Old Trafford.
He replied (via SkySports): “He’s now at Dortmund. So, after he was signed, one year before [Ten Hag’s appointment], there were issues.
“We have had issues all the way through. So, you can make out his stay here at Manchester United so far is not a success.
“Now he’s going back to Borussia Dortmund, so I wish him the best of luck. I hope, we hope, he’s doing very well there, he will be successful and then we will see what is going to happen.”
The United boss fired shots at the England international by calling his stay at Old Trafford unsuccessful.
Sancho has remained adamant that he is not willing to publicly apologise to Ten Hag.
Even if the forward lights up the Bundesliga again, it is difficult to see him returning to the Theatre of Dreams if Ten Hag is still in charge.
Sancho has failed to live up to the expectations at United following his €85 million move from Dortmund in 2021.
He scored merely 12 goals and registered six assists in 82 appearances for the Red Devils.
It is fair to say that his underwhelming performances, along with attitude issues, have forced a large section of United supporters to back Ten Hag.
Man United would be hoping that Sancho revives his career at the Bundesliga so that they can cash in on him in the summer.
He could return to Old Trafford only if Ten Hag is sacked from his role.
