As the transfer deadline day looms, rumors are swirling about the potential departure of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. However, manager Erik ten Hag remains optimistic that the talented winger will stay with the club even after the window closes. In a recent interview, ten Hag also revealed that he had no intentions of letting go of Scott McTominay, who has been a valuable player for the team.
The transfer deadline day is expected to be a busy one, with Sancho's future being one of the biggest deals in question. Chelsea is reportedly in talks to sign the young star, but Juventus is also keen on acquiring his services. Sancho has not featured in the United squad for the first two games of the season, leading to speculation that he has expressed a desire to leave. However, ten Hag remains confident that he will remain a part of the squad for the upcoming season.
In the lead up to their match against Liverpool, ten Hag spoke about Sancho's situation, stating that he is a valued member of their team and they are happy to have him. He also emphasized the need for a strong and deep squad, especially with the busy schedule that awaits them in the coming months. When asked if Sancho will stay with the club, ten Hag replied with a simple "yes."
In other transfer news, McTominay is set to join Napoli in a £25 million deal. The Scottish international has been a key player for the team under ten Hag's leadership and has been with the club since he was five years old. The manager expressed his desire to keep McTominay in the team this season, praising him for his dedication and love for the club. However, due to the Profit and Sustainability rules imposed on Premier League clubs, United had to make the tough decision to let him go.
Ten Hag admitted that it was a bittersweet feeling to see McTominay leave, as he would have preferred to keep him on the team. But he also acknowledged the rules that need to be followed and the benefits it brings to all parties involved. He also highlighted the value that homegrown and academy players bring to the club, making it a good deal for everyone. While it may be a loss for United, he believes that it is a great opportunity for McTominay and Napoli.
