During his two-and-a-half-year reign at Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag was unable to use the full potential of the immense talents of Manchester United . And under his reign he didn’t have good relationship with every single player of the squad. Even the man himself Cristiano Ronaldo was forced to leave the club in 2022 due to the relationship between the two. And he was also challenged by a player who had to quit the Red Devils to relaunch his career. The English winger Jadon Sancho has started a new life since sealing a loan move to Chelsea this summer.
Jadon Sancho reviving his career at Chelsea
United signed Sancho in 2021, paying £73 million from Borussia Dortmund during Solskjaer’s tenure. However, the winger’s United career appeared to be on the decline by the time Ten Hag arrived. He failed to impress the new manager and dropped a string of poor performances in his first season in England.
And the former Ajax manager had no way to revive the star’s situation at the club. Erik Ten Hag stuck with Sancho during the 2022-23 season, as the Englishman appeared in 26 Premier League games. However, as per the reports of Express, the couple had a public falling out when Sancho was dropped for a crucial match against Arsenal in September 2023. And since that Sancho had no way back.
He was then loaned back to Dortmund for the second half of the last season. Then he joined **Chelsea**on the last minute alongside Enzo Maresca. Sancho is still finding his feet in London and is sharing playing time with elite wingers.
However, Sancho is having a great time in London. He delivered a brilliant performance against Spurs, helping the Blues overcome a 2-0 deficit to win 4-3. The forward scored his team’s opening goal of the afternoon and set up two additional opportunities. He had three successful dribbles, won three of his four duels, and completed 87% of his passes.
Author’s opinion :
Football.Express says Sancho still has a lot of work to do to achieve his full potential. The 24 y/o is doing great job to fight for his spot at Chelsea. It will definitely help him to value every single minute on the pitch.
