It seems like Manchester United, one of the English Premier League's (EPL) top clubs, is going through a rough patch. After losing to Arsenal recently, their ranking has dropped to 11th place, and their prospects of winning the league have become uncertain. However, what's causing more trouble for the team is internal discord.
For those who follow the EPL, they may recall that last year, Manchester United's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo openly criticized the club during an interview, sparking internal conflicts within the Red Devils' dressing room. Eventually, the club's management decided to terminate Ronaldo's contract, and the Portuguese star had to leave for the Saudi Arabian league, ending his brief stint with Manchester United. With Ronaldo's departure, the team's performance improved, and they finished the season in 3rd place, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
However, this summer, Manchester United invested over 200 million euros in acquiring several talented players, including Onana, Mæhle, Højbjerg, and Amrabat, with the clear goal of challenging for the long-elusive EPL title. Unfortunately, things haven't gone according to plan, leaving fans disappointed. Manchester United has already lost two out of their first four EPL matches, denting supporters' confidence.
In the midst of this disappointment, Manchester United faced another setback when English rising star Jadon Sancho unexpectedly found himself omitted from the team's matchday squad during the recent match against Arsenal. Manager Ten Hag explained that Sancho's training performances didn't meet the required standards, leading to his exclusion. However, Sancho took to social media to defend himself, claiming that Ten Hag's words were full of lies and that he always trained very hard. Despite not wanting to be a scapegoat, he chose not to discuss the team's negative news further, emphasizing that he wouldn't contribute to negative narratives for the club's sake.
The Daily Mail revealed that Sancho has been critical of Ten Hag's team selection policies, accusing him of favoritism. Despite new signing Anthony's underwhelming performances, Ten Hag continued to trust him and regularly included him in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Sancho was left on the sidelines when his performance slightly dipped. Sancho called for equal treatment in positional competition, advocating against granting privileges to certain players.
Sancho's public confrontation with Ten Hag is likely to result in disciplinary action, and he may become the next player to be shown the exit door at Manchester United. It appears that Manchester United is once again caught in internal disputes, leaving fans worried about the team's future. The turbulent situation at the Red Devils continues to unfold, and it remains uncertain how this season's EPL campaign will develop. |
