Teddy Sheringham explains why Jadon Sancho was doomed at Manchester United

With the transfer window closing in the next couple of days, the former Borussia Dortmund player appears set to leave, with interest from both Chelsea and Juventus.

Sancho spent half of last season on loan with Dortmund last year after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag, and he is yet to feature in a Premier League matchday squad in 2024 for the Reds.

Reports suggest that Juventus have agreed a deal for the England winger, and speaking to Prime Casino, Sheringham explained why he did not see the relationship between player and manager coming back.

He said: “After everything that happened between Erik ten Hag and Jadon Sancho last year, it was always going to be difficult for him to resume his Manchester United career while ten Hag was in charge. They haven’t kissed and made up, have they? 

“It’s not a harmonious relationship between the pair of them; it can’t be. I don’t see it as a bed of roses in any sense whatsoever despite what has been said publicly. He hasn’t featured for United this season.”

He continued: “How can the manager communicate with him after everything that happened?

“You can’t have a situation where a manager is walking on eggshells around a player. I saw he took him to Brighton as the 21st man. He wasn’t on the bench in the game - that’s a bit of a wow moment for me. 

“The player isn’t going to like that one little bit - but that’s the manager’s decision and there’s nothing wrong with him deciding to leave him out. There’s too many flitty in-and-out wingers at United; too many flashy players that don’t really do the business, and he’s one of them.”
