I’m a Man Utd legend and my old boss Sir Alex Ferguson would have sold Jadon Sancho by now… he should have stayed quiet
FORMER Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov had told Jadon Sancho he should have stayed quiet in his row with Erik ten Hag.
That’s because former Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson would have sold him by now.
Sancho faces an uncertain future at United following his incredible public spat with manager Ten Hag.
He claimed he had been made a “scapegoat” after being ditched from the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.
And on Thursday, United released a statement revealing they were taking disciplinary action by making Sancho train away from the senior squad.
Reports claim Sancho is now refusing to apologise to Ten Hag for his Twitter outburst.
And he could now return on loan to Borussia Dortmund this winter, two-and-a-half years after leaving them for United in a £73million transfer.
Sancho will definitely not feature in tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Brighton.
While some fans reckon they may never see him in a red shirt again.
Indeed, ex-United striker Berbatov reckons Sancho’s time is likely up following the clash with Ten Hag.

The two-time Premier League winner feels Sancho should never have posted his furious retort on social media.
And Berba has told the England winger he’s lucky Fergie isn’t still in charge as he’d have been out on his ear immediately.
The former Bulgaria star told Betfair: “I will not be surprised if Sancho struggles to get game time for United from here.
“Players sometimes think they are really important and they can change something when they speak publicly. In reality, they only make the situation worse.
“In this case, I did not like what happened, and Sancho should have gone directly to Erik ten Hag and spoken to him man to man.
Had Jadon Sancho done this when Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager, then he would have been out
Dimitar Berbatov
“Things could go either way now. If the manager likes you as a player, even if you make mistakes along the way, it will be easier for him to forgive you, keep you around and continue to give you another chance.
“If he doesn’t like you, then the situation becomes difficult. You will need to work even harder to get back into the team.
“Had Jadon Sancho done this when Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager, then he would have been out, because no one is bigger than the team.
“Ten Hag has shown that he can be strong when he needs to be, like in the case with Ronaldo. This manager stands his ground, he knows what he wants and can sacrifice big stars.
“He is not afraid to get his hands dirty in situations like this because he is the manager, the guy in charge, and has the authority.
“Ten Hag has the right to speak about why he made certain decisions. If Sancho did not train well, then that is why he was out of the team.
“Sancho should not have gone public on social media and instead should have gone directly to the manager’s office, and said that he was giving everything and will do better next time.
“He should have kept it inside instead of blowing it out of proportion, because now we are speaking about this rather than football.”
