Manchester United decided to purge Sancho in January! The identity of the inner ghost is clear Ten Hag is worried about bringing bad teammates

The Daily Mail reports that Manchester United have decided to purge Sancho in the winter transfer window in January, with manager Ten Hag believing the 23-year-old winger is an "inner ghost" with a disruptive influence on the team.

Following the away defeat to Arsenal in September, Sancho publicly responded to Ten Hag that he had been selected for the squad because of his poor training attitude and performance, claiming that this claim was completely untrue and complaining that he had been scapegoated by the Dutchman.

Sancho refused to apologize for his remarks and was ejected from the first team. Ten Hag's demand for a public apology and in front of his team-mates was rejected by England and it looked like his Manchester United career was doomed. On weekends he watched games with players from the youth team and was ridiculed by fans as "someone with similar mental maturity", making it clear that his thinking was too naïve.

Ten Hag wants Sancho to leave as soon as the winter window opens in January, and he believes the player's presence has a worrying impact on the rest of the dressing room. The 53-year-old Dutch coach told the club that his team-mates' attitude to training had improved and team spirit had improved significantly during Sancho's absence, which was also reflected in Saturday's dramatic comeback against Brentford. Sources close to Sancho vehemently denied this, believing it to be another example of Ten Hag targeting Sancho.

ESPN reports that it may be too late for Sancho to apologize to Ten Hach again, and there is a growing sense within Manchester United that he will be undoubted. People familiar with the matter said that Ten Hach did not completely rule out the possibility of Sancho returning to the team, but people feel that even if Sancho apologizes now, the effect cannot be compared with an apology immediately afterwards, and it will be difficult for the commander to completely repair the rift. Moreover, Sancho doesn't seem to be planning to bow his head, and he rarely interacts with his teammates in Carrington these days.

Sancho insisted he had not made a mistake and that he was doing the right thing both in training and in games, so Ten Hag publicly criticized him for unfair treatment, people familiar with the matter said. In contrast, Anthony behaved misbehaving off-field and was accused by his ex-girlfriend, but he was supported by Ten Hag. While the international break seemed like the perfect time for peace between the two sides, the United hierarchy did not push Sancho back into the first team.

On the contrary, Manchester United are willing to subsidize Sancho's 350,000 weekly salary to help him find his next home, because his weekly salary is as high as £350,000, and no next family will be willing to pay for it in full.

Old club Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga is considered likely to re-sign Sancho, while Serie A Juventus are also interested in Sancho and are willing to pay £60 million to bring in. However, neither club is prepared to buy out Sancho in January, preferring to adopt a loan-to-own model, requiring United to charge no or only very low loan fees and cover at least half of the players' salaries.

The farce is bound to bring Sancho's value down further, with United fearing it will not be possible to return to his old price unless he plays well on loan. In the summer window of 2021, United signed Jadon Sancho from Dort for £73m. But his performance never reached the expected level. Former Manchester United goalscorer Berbatov has recently slammed Sancho's actions, insisting he overestimated his status.

"A player taking so long to resolve conflicts clearly overestimates his value to the club." "Ronaldo's situation is different because he has achieved everything. I was still at the club when Rooney and the old man (Verdge) quarreled and they solved the problem quickly. I think Sancho overestimated his importance, he didn't win many trophies, it's a different situation. Manchester United could easily make the decision to clean up Sancho. He may have a lot of talent, we've seen it all at Dortmund, but he didn't show it at Manchester United."
