After being suspended by Manchester United for over four months, Sancho has finally fulfilled his wish to leave the club. His next destination is his former team, Borussia Dortmund. Similar to many ex-couples, after a breakup, there's usually no desire for the other party to thrive. When it comes to Sancho's departure from Manchester United, both Sancho and United coach Ten Hag have made veiled and sarcastic remarks about each other, blaming each other for the current stalemate.
Ten Hag criticized Sancho in public for his lazy attitude, stating that he didn't deserve playing opportunities, which escalated the conflict between them. Subsequently, Sancho openly criticized Ten Hag on social media, leading to a complete falling out. Sancho was consequently suspended by Manchester United for over four months, citing disciplinary issues. Eventually, his move to Dortmund can be seen as a relatively amicable resolution for both sides.
Dortmund is where Sancho gained fame, and it was his outstanding performances there that led Manchester United to sign him for €85 million. Now, back at his former stomping ground, Sancho aims to prove that the conflicts were not caused by him. In his first appearance, he assisted Reus in scoring just 22 minutes after coming on, stating in an interview that Dortmund is his true home, subtly implying that Manchester United, who abandoned him, was never his home.
On the other hand, when discussing Sancho's transfer, Ten Hag stuck to his views, stating in an interview, "If you want to perform, you have to be hungry like wolves. You need players with personality, players who are eager to fight for the badge, for the club, players who want to cooperate with the team. This is not about discipline, but normal behavior, what you expect from a top professional player." Ten Hag's implication is that Sancho indeed had attitude issues. Both sides remain steadfast in their positions, and if Sancho and Manchester United can achieve their respective goals after parting ways, it would undoubtedly be the best outcome, without the need for mutual blame. However, if either side performs poorly, criticism is inevitable. |
