Ten Hag Hints at Position Change for Sancho

 

At the commencement of the Premier League season, Manchester United may assign Jadon Sancho an unexpected new position.

In the concluding match of their US tour, the Red Devils suffered a 3-0 pre-season friendly defeat to Liverpool, with Sancho starting for the team.

In the wake of a highly publicized dispute, the winger conducted open discussions with Erik ten Hag this summer.

Since last year, Sancho had not participated in a competitive match for United when he accused Ten Hag of fabricating the cause for his absence from the squad that faced Arsenal in September.

He was loaned to Borussia Dortmund for the latter half of the 2023/24 season but returned to the United team this summer.

Ten Hag has suggested that he may serve as a false nine to commence the season in light of Rasmus Hojlund's injury.

Joshua Zirkzee has signed for a fee of £36.5 million; however, it is possible that he may not be prepared to immediately assume his role.

Man City will compete against Manchester United in the Community Shield at Wembley on Saturday.

Ten Hag stated, "That is the only option we have if Rasmus is unavailable."

"We know he can play in wide areas, but he is also a viable option as a false striker."

"However, Joshua Zirkzee is on his way and has already begun training."

"However, it is important to note that he has not been in training for an extended period, which will require time to adjust to English football and our playing styles."

"There is also Jadon, of course, as a striker."

Sancho expressed his satisfaction with his return to United, as he stated to MUTV: "Certainly, 100 percent." Indeed, a hundred percent.

"I have been enjoying the weather and spending time with the boys. It has been a pleasant experience." I am fond of the amenities in the United States.

"I typically travel to America when I have free time." It is a pleasure to be returning, as this is one of the locations where I train before the preseason. I would not describe it as a residence; however, it is a pleasant facility.
