After the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, Manchester United boss Ten Hag has publicly stated that Jadon Sancho was not included in the match list because his training level did not meet his requirements. However, Sancho immediately responded to Ten Hag on social media, stressing that he was in good shape, but the manager used him as a scapegoat. The team's manager and the senior player have been openly infighting, which has caused Manchester United, who have had mediocre results this season, now also have a headache.
In an interview, the reporter asked Sheringham if Ferguson would have followed Ten Hag's approach that year. Sheringham replied, "No! Not at all! These external words are few and far between, and the more you can leave things at home, the more you can control the situation. ”
"Times are different now, with social media, everyone has their own say. This approach only brings more hype, and I'm surprised that this happens. Sheringham expressed his displeasure with Ten Hag's exposure of the team's contradictions.
Speaking about Ten Hag, Sheringham went on to stress that what Ten Hag is doing is the hardest job in football. "I said last season that Ten Hag's job is the hardest in world football. I still think so because Manchester United fans expect to win the title and if United don't get it, the question mark is here. Now it looks like there is some trouble in the United dressing room and Ten Hag needs to fix that. Ten Hag has a reason for handling Sancho this way, he just wants to liven up the players. ”
