After a significant rift with Erik ten Hag, Jadon Sancho departed Old Trafford to rejoin his former club, Borussia Dortmund, on loan.

Sancho has been a key figure in the Dortmund side this season, enjoying consistent game time.

Reporters questioned Erik ten Hag on Thursday, May 3, seeking his thoughts on Jadon Sancho’s remarkable display against PSG the previous day, on Wednesday, May 2.

Ten Hag said, “So let’s say this: yesterday he played very well and he’s a very good player.

“Yesterday, he showed why Manchester United bought him and he showed he represents a high value for Manchester United. Which is good.

“I’m happy for Jadon for the performance yesterday and we will see what is going to happen in the future.”

Meanwhile, Piers Morgan, the iconic British broadcaster and Arsenal fan, has lambasted Erik ten Hag, accusing him of inadequately handling “world-class” players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho.

Similarly to Sancho, Ronaldo had a falling out with Erik ten Hag prior to his explosive interview, where he openly criticized the management of United and the Dutch tactician.

Following the explosive interview, Manchester United terminated Ronaldo’s contract.

Hence, this prompted him to secure a more lucrative deal with Al Nassr, a club in the Saudi Arabia Pro League.

“The fact that Ronaldo and now Sancho are playing brilliantly away from United, and Rashford is struggling while still with them.

“Suggests the real problem at the club isn’t ‘difficult’ world-class players but a manager who doesn’t know how to handle them”, Piers Morgan wrote on X on Thursday.
