Jadon Sancho's career has taken a turn for the better since his move to Borussia Dortmund on loan. In a recent interview, the talented footballer hinted at the reasons behind his struggles at Manchester United. There were high expectations when he joined the team from Dortmund three years ago, after establishing himself as one of the most exciting attacking talents in Europe. However, Sancho found it difficult to meet those expectations under various managers at United.
Things hit a low point for Sancho this season when he was left out of the squad for a game against Arsenal in September. His lack of effort in training was publicly criticized by manager Erik ten Hag, which led to Sancho speaking out against him and subsequently being banished from the first team. However, his loan move back to Dortmund has sparked a major revival, and he hopes to cap it off with a win in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Sancho's renewed confidence was evident in the first leg of Dortmund's semi-final win over PSG, where he successfully completed 11 take-ons, a feat not achieved in the Champions League since Lionel Messi in 2008. In a recent interview with CNN, Sancho expressed the importance of having a manager who trusts him and allows him to play freely on the pitch. This was a subtle hint at the difference in coaching styles between Ten Hag and his current manager Edin Terzic.
The 24-year-old also opened up about his shyness and how it contributed to his struggles at United. He revealed that growing up in South London, he was taught the value of trust and a sense of family, which is something he feels strongly about at Dortmund. The club's ethos has played a significant role in his resurgence.
Sancho's future at United remains uncertain, and it is likely that he will leave the club if Ten Hag remains in charge and an apology is not forthcoming. The reason for Sancho's refusal to apologize to his manager was revealed by former United coach Benni McCarthy, who spoke to Ten Hag about the delicate situation. McCarthy explained that Sancho felt apologizing would mean admitting to not training or working hard, which was not true. As someone who grew up on the streets, Sancho did not want to apologize for something he believed was not true.
In the end, Sancho's loyalty to his own principles led to his departure from United. His time at Dortmund has been a turning point in his career, and he is grateful for the opportunity to play in the Champions League final. It's a dream come true for him, considering where he came from. As for his future, only time will tell, but it seems unlikely that he will return to United.
