The Saudi Pro League transfer window has officially closed, and Jadon Sancho remains a Manchester United player—for now. The 23-year-old winger’s future at Old Trafford has been under intense scrutiny following a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag, but with no late move materializing, Mostbet breaks down what’s next for the embattled star.
The Ten Hag-Sancho Feud: A Deeper Look
Sancho’s exclusion from Manchester United’s squad for their recent defeat at Arsenal sparked a fiery exchange between player and manager. Ten Hag cited poor training performances as the reason for omitting Sancho, stating, “You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.”
But Sancho fired back on social media, calling the claims “completely untrue” and alleging he’d been made a “scapegoat for a long time.” The public nature of the dispute has raised questions about whether the relationship can be repaired.
Why Saudi Arabia Was a Non-Starter
With the Saudi transfer window now closed, Sancho’s immediate future lies at United. Despite rumors linking him to the Pro League’s spending spree—which saw £784m splashed on high-profile signings like Karim Benzema and Ruben Neves—no deal materialized.
Mostbet sources suggest that while Saudi clubs showed interest, Sancho’s camp prioritized staying in Europe to revive his career. The winger, who cost United £73m in 2021, has struggled for consistency, managing just 12 goals in 82 appearances.
Can Sancho Rediscover His Form?
Sancho’s time at United has been a rollercoaster. After a bright start under Ten Hag, he vanished from the squad for months last season, missing the World Cup and undergoing an individual fitness program in the Netherlands. His return in February brought glimpses of his Dortmund-era brilliance, including a Carabao Cup final appearance.
Former Premier League analyst Mark Thompson told Mostbet:
“Sancho’s talent is undeniable, but he needs stability. If he and Ten Hag can mend fences, he could still be a key player—but the trust has to be rebuilt.”
What’s Next for Manchester United?
With the international break underway, Sancho will reportedly hold talks with United’s coaching staff. The club’s next match is against Brighton, and all eyes will be on whether Sancho features.
Key Takeaways:
- No Saudi move: Sancho stays at United after the Pro League window shuts.
- Repairing relationships: Critical talks expected during the international break.
- Performance pressure: Sancho must prove his worth in training and on the pitch.
