MU accepts to 'cut losses' to get rid of Jadon Sancho
England winger Jadon Sancho is being axed from the first team after publicly criticising coach Ten Hag.
It all started when the Dutch coach made a statement suggesting that Sancho was not training seriously, leading to his being removed from the list of players to play against Arsenal. Jadon Sancho immediately announced that he was being made a "scapegoat" and that coach Ten Hag was not telling the truth.
He had the chance to return if he apologized to the Dutch coach. However, Sancho refused to do so and the club decided to drop him from the first team.
The Daily Star reported that MU leaders are willing to sell the 24-year-old player for 40 million pounds, much lower than the 73 million pounds they spent to recruit Sancho from Dortmund more than 2 years ago.
As soon as the winter transfer window opens, Sancho will be liquidated. The Manchester team accepted the option of a half-season loan with an option to sell Sancho outright in the summer of 2024. Sancho's former team, Borrusia Dortmund, also left open the possibility of borrowing him back next winter./.
