Pressure Mounts on Erik ten Hag

After being frozen out by Dutch manager Erik ten Hag this season, Jadon Sancho has finally secured a move away from Manchester United. However, TNT Sports pundit Chris Sutton believes that Sancho's return to Borussia Dortmund on loan is not the end of his time at Old Trafford. Sutton points to the lack of a buy option in Sancho's loan deal as an indication that he will be staying in Manchester in the long-term.

Ten Hag's Future in Doubt

Erik ten Hag has faced increasing pressure at Manchester United following a disappointing campaign so far. The Red Devils crashed out of the Champions League and currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, with almost half of their league games resulting in losses. With the recent investment of British Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the spotlight is on ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Sancho's Exile and Social Media Drama

Jadon Sancho was banished from the Manchester United first team after claiming he was being made a "scapegoat" by Erik ten Hag. The former Ajax boss had criticized Sancho's training performances and left him out of the squad for a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in September. Sancho's exile included eating lunch away from the team, training alone, and staying away from senior facilities. Chris Sutton criticized Sancho's behavior on social media, calling it "pathetic."

Sancho's Return and Ten Hag's Future

Despite the shocking form of Manchester United without Sancho in the lineup, Chris Sutton believes that the young player will outlast Erik ten Hag at the club. Sutton suggests that if ten Hag continues on his current path, he will likely be off at the end of the season. The situation remains uncertain, but it seems that Sancho's time at Manchester United is far from over.
