A significant Manchester United player is done with Erik ten Hag, revealing a concealed transfer strategy for the summer that will be painful for Jim Ratcliffe.

The future of Jadon Sancho is facing uncertainty once more amid reports suggesting he will refuse to play for Manchester United if Erik ten Hag remains in charge.

Additionally, a ‘secret’ summer transfer plan is reportedly being devised behind the scenes, according to a report.

Sancho joined Man Utd for £73m from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021 after impressing in the Bundesliga with 76 goal contributions in the previous two seasons.

However, the 23-year-old struggled to replicate his form in England and became somewhat marginalized at Old Trafford.

A public disagreement between Sancho and his manager in the early stages of the 2023/24 season led to the player’s exile from the first-team training and his subsequent loan back to Dortmund in the winter transfer window.

While there have been no signs of reconciliation between Sancho and Ten Hag, there could be a chance for Sancho to return to United if the Dutchman retains his job.

However, according to a report from BILD, Sancho would refuse to play for Man Utd next season if Ten Hag remains in charge, blaming him for the decline in his career.

Meanwhile, with the pressure mounting on Ten Hag, there is speculation that United may listen to offers for Sancho in the summer to boost their spending power, especially with the club’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, planning significant investments.

However, finding suitable permanent offers for Sancho may be challenging, leading Dortmund to work on a ‘secret Sancho plan’ to bring him back to the club until at least the summer of 2025.

This plan likely involves another loan spell, potentially extending for a year, to put Sancho back in the shop window before a potential sale in 2025.
