Erik Ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, appears to have put an end to speculation regarding Jadon Sancho’s transfer.
In an interview with the BBC, Ten Hag discussed the future of the winger with Manchester United.
Sancho, following his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, seemed to be on the market, with Juventus showing concrete interest.
However, Ten Hag’s comments suggest a different direction.
“We have always believed in Jadon’s potential,” Ten Hag said to the BBC.
“We see him as a key player for our squad moving forward.”
This statement may surprise those who thought Sancho would be leaving Old Trafford.
Rumours had been swirling about Juventus closing in on a deal, but Ten Hag’s words dispel much of that speculation.
“Jadon has a significant role to play here,” continued the Manchester United manager.
“As a team, we are focused on integrating him into our strategic plans.”
Sancho’s future seemed uncertain, but this clear declaration might settle the ongoing transfer rumours.
As the winter transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen if Juventus will persist in their pursuit or if other clubs will emerge as potential suitors.
But for now, it seems that Jadon Sancho is firmly in Ten Hag’s plans at Manchester United.
