Joe Cole has offered Jadon Sancho support and direction, highlighting the need of developing the young artist. Cole, though, believes that Sancho’s time at Manchester United is over given the current situation.
After a public argument with manager Erik ten Hag, Sancho was benched at Old Trafford and hasn’t played since August.
In the forthcoming January transfer window, Manchester United is allegedly open to receiving offers for the 23-year-old, possibly at a lower cost than the £73 million they paid to get him from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
Sancho might yet make a comeback to the Manchester United starting lineup under Ten Hag, but Cole doesn’t think it will.
Former England, West Ham, and Chelsea winger Joe Cole recognizes Sancho’s extraordinary skill but feels that he needs more development and experience to realize his full potential.
He believed that both parties would need to work together to find a solution. Sancho’s reunion with Ten Hag, however, seems less and less possible now that he’s been kicked out of a WhatsApp group that’s key to the first team squad’s operations.
Sancho has been urged by a few of his United colleagues to apologize to Ten Hag, which might allow him to rejoin the team. Sancho, meanwhile, hasn’t offered an apology and seems to be sticking to his guns.
