Jadon Sancho backed to make shock Man United return – pundit
Jadon Sancho could make a shock return to the Manchester United first team if Mauricio Pochettino becomes the club’s new manager.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson revealed there could be a way back for Sancho if Erik ten Hag is sacked by the Red Devils in the coming weeks.
The 24-year-old returned to Bundesliga side Dortmund on loan in the January transfer window following his public fallout with Ten Hag at the start of the season.
Despite leading Man United to FA Cup glory over Manchester City, Football Insider revealed the Dutchman is expected to be sacked this summer following his side’s disappointing performances across the campaign.
Football Insider revealed Pochettino has emerged as a “serious and very interesting” option to replace Ten Hag after he left Chelsea by mutual consent.
Jadon Sancho could return to Man United if Erik ten Hag leaves
Robinson believes Sancho could potentially force his way back into the fold at Old Trafford after impressing on loan with Dortmund if the Argentinian manager joins the club.
“Sancho could be excited about returning under Pochettino, who can work with players,” he told Football Insider.
“It was a nod of the head for Ten Hag back in January that a club like Manchester United would cut their losses on a player like Jadon Sancho and allow him to go out on loan.
“There was obviously a loan fee that was financially involved.
“He does have to take responsibility himself as well because his performances weren’t good enough, whether it was his attitude or application that he and Ten Hag had their falling out over.
“It was a vote of confidence for Ten Hag to let him go, but we could be looking at the flip side of the coin now with Sancho.
“He loves it at Dortmund and plays well there, but with the potential of a new manager coming in, it could be that Ten Hag goes and Sancho gets integrated back into the squad.”
