Jadon Sancho appears to be at a crossroads with Manchester United. The English winger was left out of the game against Arsenal due to “poor performance in training” by manager Erik ten Hag. However, in a stunning turn of events, Sancho issued a statement on X denying ten Hag's comments. He also said that he has been made a scapegoat recently for United's poor performances.

According to reports from ESPN, Sancho was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia on Deadline Day. However, the move never materialized, and the former Borussia Dortmund man stayed at Old Trafford. With nowhere to go, Sancho has got a decision to make. He can either sit on the Manchester United bench for the remainder of the season or get back into action. The English winger wasn't selected for England's squad for next year's Euros. Hence, he doesn't have anything to play for, either.

Hence, the English winger has decided to gain the trust of Manchester United's first-team members and then the manager. There were reports that Manchester United would ask him to issue an apology on his X account. However, no statement has been issued yet. Both the manager and the player are expected to have discussions before the next Premier League game against Brighton.

This has all the makings of the Cristiano Ronaldo saga of last year. The Portuguese icon eventually left the club after being “betrayed” by ten Hag. Whether Sancho appears to be on the same boat as Ronaldo remains to be seen. However, the Dutch manager has plenty of problems to rectify in just the first weeks of the season.
