Man Utd ace Jadon Sancho heading for awkward reunion with Erik ten Hag after buying mansion round the corner from him
MANCHESTER United star Jadon Sancho is in line for an awkward encounter with Erik ten Hag – after the winger splashed out on a stunning mansion round the corner from where his manager lives.
Sancho is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund after the player and ten Hag had a spectacular bust up earlier this season.
Ten Hag jettisoned Sancho, 24, from the first team squad for United’s clash against Arsenal in September after accusing him of not having the right attitude in training.
Sancho responded furiously in a statement posted on Instagram, accusing ten Hag of making him a “scapegoat”.
The £73m man was never selected again by ten Hag and joined Dortmund on loan in January.
Now the pair face an awkward reunion after Sancho purchased a £3.8 million stunning new home just a few minute’s walk from ten Hag’s home in Hale, Gtr Manchester.
The five-bedroom home boasts an indoor swimming pool, cinema room and a huge open plan kitchen, living room and dining room.
A source said: “Jadon and ten Hag have clearly struggled to get on this year and both have very strong views on each other.
“Ten Hag is adamant Sancho should apologise, Jadon is equally as firm that he has nothing to apologise for and if anything he has been mistreated.
“They struggle to get along when they are working, so the idea of them bumping into each other in the street could make for a very awkward encounter.”
Sancho, who was pictured visiting the property which is still being built, joined United in the summer of 2021 but has struggled to adapt to live at Old Trafford.
His loan deal finishes at the end of the season when he will return to an uncertain future at United.
He is expected to start for Dortmund in the Champions League final against Real Madrid on June 1.
