‘They have to deal with it!’ – Ruthless Erik ten Hag fires blunt warning to Jadon Sancho after leaving him out of squad last week but urges winger to stay motivated as ‘prizes are decided next May’

Erik ten Hag has implored Jadon Sancho to exercise patience and await his opportunity to showcase his talents for Manchester United.

manager delivers a harsh response to winger Sancho is not being included in the squad for the Premier League opening
The winger was omitted from the matchday squad in the Premier League opener against Fulham last week. However, the Dutchman clarified that his exclusion was not due to pending transfer negotiations, but rather a result of intense competition for positions and his ear infection. On Thursday, the manager encouraged the winger to maintain his motivation in anticipation of being summoned in the future.
Sancho was banished from the United squad last year for publicly criticizing Ten Hag on social media after being excluded from the trip to Arsenal. Although he saw a resurgence in his career during his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, there has been minimal interest from teams in securing a permanent transfer for the 24-year-old. He was readmitted to the squad following a reconciliation with Ten Hag. However, his aspirations of making a speedy comeback at Old Trafford were shattered when he was excluded from the first-team selection for the Community Shield and then omitted from the squad against Fulham.
“It is imperative that we effectively handle the situation, as the players’ demeanor holds significant importance.” “Occasionally, they may experience disappointment, but they must confront and overcome it. The victory is achieved collectively as a team,” stated Ten Hag. “The winners will be determined in May of next year, and until then, it is imperative that all players in the team remain present and highly motivated. This is not merely an expectation, but rather a requirement for the squad.”United just sent winger Facundo Pellistri to Panathinaikos. However, Sancho is still contending with four other wide players: Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Antony. Ten Hag expressed his desire for a group with versatile players who can play in multiple positions. He emphasized the importance of having a complete squad for the entire season, even if not all players can be selected for each match. The Red Devils are set to visit Brighton to prolong their victorious beginning to the season. However, they continue to face a shortage in their defensive lineup. Ten Hag has verified that Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia are not available, in addition to the long-term injured Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro.
