“I’ll be putting his performance during his stay at Dortmund in consideration whilst making my decision” –Manchester United Owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has finally decided Jadon Sancho’s Future at the Club after UEFA Champions League loss against Real Madrid.
Erik ten Hag is facing a series of challenges at Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford contributing to the ongoing issues at the club.
Erik ten Hag is facing a series of challenges at Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford contributing to the ongoing issues at the club.
The team’s morale appears to be at its lowest point following recent losses, and the level of performance, especially in the Carabao Cup against Newcastle, falls short of the expected standard for Manchester United players.
There are suggestions that Ten Hag’s strict handling of Jadon Sancho and Harry Maguire has caused divisions within the dressing room, with differing opinions among the first team regarding whether the Dutch manager is handling the arising issues effectively.
The news of Rashford’s post-Manchester derby partying was expected to have consequences with the manager, and it indeed did.
“I am aware of the situation. I have discussed it with him. It’s unacceptable,” ten Hag stated, as reported by The Independent, which also mentioned that the striker will face disciplinary consequences.
“I spoke with him, he offered an apology, and that concludes the matter. It’s an internal issue for us.”
If the manager were achieving the anticipated results, these off-field incidents wouldn’t draw as much attention.
While Sir Alex Ferguson was known for his strong leadership, his teams consistently delivered results. Furthermore, many of Ferguson’s key players were known for their dedication when wearing the iconic red shirt.
In contrast, the current squad often appears to be going through the motions, which is a severe indictment of the club’s present state.
