Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand reveals the crucial condition for Jadon Sancho's potential return to EPL giants. Sancho's fate at Man United depends solely on the departure of manager Erik ten Hag, according to Ferdinand. Will Sancho reunite with Man United? Ferdinand's insights shed light on the situation.
Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United star, has highlighted a significant condition for Jadon Sancho's potential return to the club. According to Ferdinand, Sancho's comeback hinges on the departure of manager Erik ten Hag.
Sancho, who previously had a strained relationship with Ten Hag, chose to rejoin Borussia Dortmund earlier this year. Despite his mixed performance at Old Trafford since his £73 million transfer in 2021, Sancho demonstrated his talent during a loan spell with Dortmund, notably contributing to their Champions League journey. While speculation arose about a permanent move to Dortmund for the 24-year-old, recent form has sparked talks of his potential stay at United.
However, Ferdinand believes Sancho's return is unlikely as long as Ten Hag remains in charge. He asserted that such a move would undermine the Dutchman following their previous discord.
Ferdinand shared his sentiments on TNT Sports before Dortmund's Champions League semi-final second-leg 1-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, stating, "I think the only way he goes back to Manchester United is if Erik ten Hag isn't there. I don't think they can undermine the manager and let a player not apologize and then bring him back."
