Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has spoken about the future of Jadon Sancho ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash against Burnley on the road.
Sancho was suspended by the club earlier this month following his public outburst over the manager’s comments over him after the 3-1 loss at Arsenal.
The Englishman is currently away from first-team training. When asked about his future, Ten Hag said that it depends on him and he won’t be available tomorrow.
“It depends on him [Sancho]. For the rest, we are preparing for Burnley, and that has all our focus. He will not be in the squad,” he told United’s official website.
Sancho needs to apologise to Ten Hag to save United career
Sancho was a second-half substitute in the first three league games of the season before he was dropped from the matchday squad due to his poor attitude in training.
The 23-year-old should have responded by working hard on the training field, but he opted to criticise the manager and said that he was being made a scapegoat.
There were no surprises that United suspended him. His prospects of reviving his career now depends on a face-to-face apology to Ten Hag and a public statement.
As of now, the attacker has shown no signs of remorse. If his stance stays unchanged until the New Year, the speculation over him leaving the club could intensify.
United are reportedly open to cutting their losses on the €45 million-rated star, but it won’t be easy to offload him this winter with the huge salary involved.
