Jadon Sancho’s Dealt Valuable Advise to Make Erik ten Hag Regret Manchester United Exit – “If He Gets His Nuts Down & Works Like a Trojan…”

Published 01/18/2024, 6:30 AM EST

Jadon Sancho has finally hit the restart button. After returning from Manchester United to his former club, Borussia Dortmund, on loan in the winter transfer window, the England international has a clean slate to regain his lost stardom. With all eyes on the winger, a former England icon asserts that Sancho has the potential to ‘make people look silly who hammered him.’

In the latest segment of Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE, Anton Ferdinand, Danny Murphy, and Flex discussed Jadon Sancho’s return to Signal Iduna Park. Interestingly, Flex presented a fan question about who will have the ‘last laugh’ between Sancho and Erik ten Hag. To this, Murphy replied, “The answer to that is completely in Sancho’s hands. If he gets his nut down and works like a Trojan and takes all this stuff, that’s happened at Man United as a motivation to show people what he’s really about, then in two or three… well, no season and half season.”

The former English midfielder claimed that if the 23-year-old manages to get enough minutes in these last six months of this season and again goes back in the summer, ‘he can be what he wants to be.’ Murphy heaped praise over Sancho’s ‘lovely’ balance and speed on the ball, insisting the player is calm during the final third in terms of passing. The ex-Liverpool star added, “He’s in a confident space and on a team that appreciates him—players around him who support what he does. He’s got the potential to be able to make people look silly who hammered him.”

Erik ten Hag, who had refused to reintegrate Jadon Sancho into his plans, was confronted about the player’s departure. Before the game against Spurs, he was asked if he had any messages for the winger. Interestingly, he succinctly replied, “I hope he is doing well”. The reply may have been understated, but it doesn’t indicate that he would not be monitoring the progress of the Englishman at Dortmund.

I first kicked a soccer ball when I was 12. My early exposure to playing the sport earned me many accolades at the zonal and district levels. I still remember my first goal, where I scored a 90+5 minute header like Sergio Ramos did in the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid.
