Away for three months, Jadon Sancho finally sees the end of the tunnel. The Manchester United attacking midfielder is starting to win back favor with manager Erik ten Hag who plans to line him up against Reading this Saturday in the FA Cup.
Jadon Sancho could reappear three months later.
When asked his secret to Marcus Rashford’s metamorphosis, Erik ten Hag with a modest cheek. I am not Harry Potterrpond le manager de Manchester United.
The Dutchman would however need a magic trick for another element of his offensive sector, namely Jadon Sancho.
A physical and mental problem
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder did not contribute to the Red Devils’ comeback. And for good reason, the Englishman has been away for three months. His last appearance dates back to the Premier League match against Chelsea (1-1) on October 22. To explain this sudden disappearance, Ten Hag confided a few weeks ago that Sancho was not physically or mentally ready. This is why the former Borussia Dortmund player, while the non-Globalists went on an internship in Spain, was to follow an individual program in the Netherlands last month.
Since then, the winger recruited for 85 million euros in the summer of 2021 has found the group. Ten Hag has indeed authorized him to resume collective training last week. And before the FA Cup match against Reading on Saturday, the technician gave him reason for hope for a possible return to competition. He is training with the team, we will see, considered the Manchester United coach on Friday. He is improving, he is taking steps and we will make the decision after training.If it is possible that he plays? I said he was on his way back, he’s taking steps, repeated Ten Hag, again on the subject. He’s back in collective training and now we have to see when he’s ready to start playing again. This cup match against a resident of Championship (English D2) looks like the perfect opportunity to finally revive Sancho.
A playing card for the English
The English international will obviously need time to find the rhythm and his sensations. Especially since Ten Hag will not easily open the doors to a team that has won 10 of its last 12 games in all competitions. Sancho still has a card to play, especially on the right side where the Brazilian Antony also barely justifies the price of his transfer (€100m bonus included).
