Manchester United legend Andy Cole believes the Jadon Sancho saga might finish in the same method to Paul Pogba's time on the membership. But the previous Red Devils striker has pointed the finger at Erik ten Hag for releasing the story to the general public and questioned his previous membership's switch technique.

Ten Hag revealed after Sunday's loss at Arsenal that Sancho had been ignored because of his efficiency in coaching main as much as the sport. The winger responded on social media with a prolonged assertion the place he stated he not desires to be the scapegoat.

Sancho now has a troublesome activity to win again the belief of his supervisor and earn a spot again in his facet. Cole gained 5 Premier League titles beneath Sir Alex Ferguson throughout his time at United.

He claims his former boss would by no means inform the media if he had an issue with a participant. Cole says Ten Hag has made the scenario far worse by making it public information that he's not proud of Sancho.

Cole advised Betfred: "If Sir Alex Ferguson ever had a problem with a player, it didn’t leave the dressing room. So you can argue that Erik ten Hag has come out and said something negative about his player and he didn’t have to do that.

"If he didn’t say something, then no person’s getting wind of this case. However, now he’s made the scenario public, Jadon has now come out to defend himself.

"Manchester United haven’t started the season in a good way and Erik ten Hag didn’t need to create another distraction that the club doesn’t need. It just didn’t need to happen."

Pogba was usually the scapegoat for United's performances all through his time on the membership. The £89million midfielder did not see eye-to-eye with Jose Mourinho, amongst others, throughout his second spell.

Cole has in contrast Sancho's scenario to the France midfielder and says query marks have to be raised about United's recruitment, led by soccer director John Murtough, if one other high-profile signing fails to repay. He added: "Using Paul Pogba as an example, the media and the fans always reflect on whether they believe a player’s arrogant or believes that they’re better than they actually are.

"However, a membership with the stature of Manchester United buys a participant as a result of they consider they’re the most effective gamers on this planet and so they’re going to enhance their crew and so they purchased Jadon Sancho as a result of they consider he’s a extremely good participant. If it doesn’t work out for Jadon at Manchester United, then why didn’t it work out?

"Is it just down to the player or is it down to the football club as well? Manchester United have made a number of marquee signings that haven’t worked out, so why does this keep happening?"
