Wan Basaka faced a similar situation. He stayed quiet and earned his place back.

I don't know how anyone with a brain can blame Ten Hag in this situation. If Sancho hadn't responded, no one would have even noticed. This is after he was given 3 months break last year for his mental health, plenty of managers would have declined. Ten Hag didn't even make him a scapegoat.

One thing I know for sure... Sancho hasnt done a damn thing at this club to have credit of being backed over the manager.. I find it truly funny those Ronaldo fan boys want to jump to defend Sancho lmao.. In Ronaldo's interview, he literally said Young players at United are not serious.. WHo do you think he was talking about?

In any other job if you got called into the managers office and the manager said “your performances aren’t up to scratch and you’re not putting in enough effort” and your response is “I am actually”, you’d be sacked on the spot. You’re essentially telling the manager that your best isn’t good enough. The fact he’s on £300k+ a week is disgusting, he’s achieved absolutely nothing in the game and has an incredibly high opinion of himself, not sure if Pep was the manager at the time but I remember him demanding to start for city back when he was 16. Guess that’s the difference between well run clubs and Manchester United, none of the top clubs wanted him at dortmund because you can bet they’d done their due diligence on the kid’s attitude and mentality.

Mad that buvey is 100% right when talking about United here. Never happened before

Ten Hag was asked why Sancho wasn’t in the squad and he answered honestly. That isn’t anything close to “slagging off” like Buvey claims

Imagine going to work and going to ur boss and they say you need to work harder and you reply with “yeah but others are doing bad too” just shows your mentality. Sanchos an egotistical person. He thinks he’s amazing. For some reason that United dressing room is full of egos that need to be under control.

United put Sancho in the Champions League squad after the drama. They fully intend for him to play again this season.

5/10 on Lisandro Martinez wowww.. do you even watch man united????

one of the biggest problems at Man Utd is player power. Maguire and Sancho this season alone have proven that

Producer guy: “Rory get on your knees fella” Rory: “what have I done?”

Look at Manchester United right now and for the last ten years, they have become a meatgrinder of footballing talent

People use Sancho as a way to circle jerk the PL. ''Not good enough for the PL, was good enough for the Bundesliga.'' I think thats unfair to say. I wouldn't be surprised if mentality issues were a reason. Some players are just not built like the elite players that always stay hungry. I always say that there's different levels of mentality in football. Some players have enough mentality to make it out of the youth teams. Some players have enough mentality to break through into the first team. Some players have enough mentality to follow up on a good debut season. Some players have enough mentality to stay hungry to earn a big transfer with a big sum of money and are still mentally strong enough to keep their level of quality up at their new club. While others just get complacent, start earning a lot of money and the hunger disappears. Some maybe let the fame go to their heads. While some maybe can't handle the spotlight. I remember how Van der Vaart spoke about there being players in the Ajax Youth Academy with him that were levels above him in terms of raw talent. However, they never made it into the first team because they simply lacked the mentality for it. Van der Vaart did have that mentality. However, even with Van der Vaart, who had a great career, he still suffered from mentality issues himself because his fitness wasn't always up to par and also started having issues with his weight. With Sancho I really wouldn't be surprised if it was a mentality issue. Just look at him responding to his manager after his manager tries a classic way of motivating his player. By giving him a bit of critique in the media. Players with good mentality get annoyed and upset by that, but they keep it to themselves and then show their managers they are wrong by pulling off great performances. This has happened a lot before.

Some times buvey gets its spot and it’s so simple, as a united fan I wish he was wrong, but he summed it up “he’s just lazy” simple! Get the f out of my club!

Ten hag called him out, in my opinion, because this was his last resort. Sancho was given MONTHS off last season to get himself right...yet still was terrible coming back. What else is he supposed to do. I applaud the decision. Top clubs need top mentalities in the squad. Sancho is obviously not that

Wonder how many players are in that list who went to United in their peak form, post 2012 and instantly dropped off Except Zlatan, De Gea you can almost put everyone in that list

Aside from Rashford (who's only ever known Utd life) I can't think of a Man Utd player post Fergie who doesn't wholeheartedly regret signing for Man Utd. Not even just "ahh whatever" I mean you can full on say they would do anything to go back in time and not sign and most have even outright said it. Baffled me how any youngster pre Sancho would choose Utd but now even with no other offer on the table no youngster should be choosing Utd over another club.

He called the manager a liar in his tweet. Sancho is done at MU, Ten Hag is.

Sancho could have just put his head down and worked hard, instead he had a winge and started some random conspiracy. Was a huge fan of him aswell, what a disappointment

Sancho was supposed to be the next heir to Sané at The Etihad, but sadly it will always remain to be a what if moment

Crazy that in the summer, I assumed they'd have Antony, Sancho, and, probably, Greenwood, all out at RW. Now, they don't really have any of them, and ETH will probably start Fernandes out at RW, Mount at the 10, and Mainoo alongside Casemiro, at least until Amrabat comes back from injury. World of difference, that one.

Why do people keep using the rashford situation, literally not even close to the same thing lol being late to a meeting is very binary you’re late or you’re not, where as meeting a level is subjective, sancho may of felt he played just as well as anyone else in training, rashford couldn’t possibly think he was on time if he wasn’t

Hes coming home 🖤💛

0:29 Just shows how statistics can be deceptive tho right...? Messi might've had worse stats when he turned 20 but he was also runner up to kaka in the 2007 fifa world player of the year lol People always forget how Messi was in the conversation for the greatest on the planet even before the goals and assists started happening... Shows just how many levels above everyone else he was at his peak

How often English players fall off the cliff is amazing.

"if the producers say do something it's our responsibility to do it, it's our responsibility to be told what to do" in other words. Soul, sold

His attitude has come to light more than once. With Antony out now sancho would of defo just started the next couple games. Now his ruined even this opportunity after being loved so much by ET.

A lot of players flopped at United over the recent years. I don't see anything wrong with what Sancho posted. If the coach and the whole media can slaughter him in public he has a right to defend himself.

I said it at the time: Picking Man United when Sancho picked Man United was all I needed to know about the guy to know he wasn't winning player. United were in utter shambles, and he had interests from clubs who were at the peak of world football at the time, yet it was very clear that he first and foremost cared about was his brand. The differences between him and Bellingham coming from very similar career trajectories is incredibly stark. Bellingham is a top professional and will be a success for club and country. Sancho is a loser.

If your employer is trying to twist the narrative about you and force you into unfair compromises, then lies about doing it, that's gaslighting and exploitation, and you have a right to outcry.

Sancho will never be right here. It’s a lesson he needs to learn as a young man. Just hope this doesn’t sink his career. Ten Hag knows this and will likely give him one last chance. ONE.

It’s not his personal life anymore because Ten Hag went public so he went public too. Ten Hag could have avoided the question and this would have been nothing.

Ten Hag has been kind to Sancho, helped him quietly, but still no change in performance. Ten hags comments werent unreasonable, its his last throw of the dice to get something out of him. Sancho shouldve kept quiet and got his head down. if he wanted to defend himself, he has to go to talk to the manager, behind closed doors

It's frustrating that no one seems to be dissecting the wording of this and is just jumping onto Sancho V Ten Hag If you look at the wording of his tweet: "I have conducted myself very well in training", it comes off to me to be more that he's reacting to a question regarding his attitude and professionalism - which I believe he's wrongly misunderstood - while Ten Hag was referring to the relative form of players he placed ahead of him not his attitude or professionalism. I would gather that the media coverage questioning him about the mental holiday from the manager last season is enough for him to be abe bit touchy and defensive about any subsequent questions regarding his "attitude". Most likely, this was just a misunderstanding that will not be resolved as they can't understand each other's viewpoint and Sancho will go in January (if ETH remains manager) or we'll hear that it was resolved at the end of international break when they get back to training so MU can have some positive spin on the club in the midst of all the bullshit they've had lately.

Yeah thats fair about the break, time off and reaction. I know personally dont like some ppl in my life, but just try and keep that under wraps. Or do it in a reasonable, fair way however at the end of the day- they do have the power the manager. Like Rory has said in any walk of life, can only do what u can and Sancho hasnt done that tbh, not done himself any favours anyway. And Ten Hag, as much as am an LFC fan bias there- has handled these things well. With Ronaldo and Sancho, shame cos did like Sancho back in that sort of 2019-21 ish sort of period

I think he has the right to speak out if he genuinely thinks he’s been good at training and has had good conduct sancho can’t just be silent and let ppl give him a bad reputation

Did they reshoot this?

United made a big mistake not scouting beyond the footballing aspect, Sancho to me looks set to be another Paul Pogba and United went and gave him a 350k a week contract and everything has been downhill since. Sad to see, incredible talent but fingers crossed he gets his act together

What’s the score predictions for tonight’s games then lads

Has Buvey ever explained how/why he supports city? Sounds like he’s from the West Country and I’ve never met a City fan outside of Manchester who isn’t a teenager

The problem with Jadon Sancho is there are many players who are more professional than him and willing to play in his position at half his pay. and that includes the women's team.

Rory does more exploring than Columbus

I don't think a manager should ever publicly try and shame a player, how would you feel if your manager posted on the company social X is doing a bad job at work. Some might say its a good wake up call for them but others might feel hurt and betrayed. At the end of the day a managers job is to manage people , and it seem that ETH isn't really good at people management otherwise he would have known if i push this persons button it might backfire

He needs to man up. If Ten Hag & his coaches believe he's not putting in the effort enough in training then I know who I believe regardless of how much Sancho protests otherwise. The drop-off in his levels over the last couple of years says it all. He got given months off last season by Ten Hag to get his head right & the lack of gratitude for the support he was given has become evident. Get rid.

Jadon Sancho has a problem with not getting a starting place over an abuser. I'd be mad, too.

This is on Sancho. ETH gave him the time he needed last season, put an arm around him and eased him back into the team. Gave him more minutes that he deserved. And he never seems fit - this guy is 70+ million. He just needs to get his head down and work hard and perform. Obviously stuff happens behind the scenes, but he must do more.

Is there a chance that when he said he is being a scape goat, that he was talking about the media?

Have we learnt anything for the Dele interview? Players don’t just drop off, and for Sancho to react like he did makes me feel like more maybe going on off the pitch then anyone thinks

But like Maguire, if Man Utd have to pay a huge amount of his salary to transfer him, I think both sit about taking millions for nowt. Pay them too much until they prove themself at the club is a recipe for disaster.

I honestly have never seen a club or manager send a player away for 3 months on full pay to get his mental health straight. That should be applauded from United + Ten Hag

Cant cut this one any other way - Sancho simply shouldn't have come out against the manager on Twitter. Its not like Ten Hag did a Mourinho and laid into Sancho, he just said he wants more in training and has other options he put ahead of him on the day.

Sancho has talent, but seems to have issues with fully committing himself. If I was Ten Hag, I'd be putting serious time into planning how to phase him out and replace him.

People live their lives too much on social media. Rashford had the same situation and earned his place and dominated, he simply needs to work harder and prove why he deserves too play.

regardless of the sancho situation by rory logic if my boss at work came out lying about my behavior to my colleagues i have to stay silent because i have to "respect the hierarchy"

Think Sancho tried creating a me vs him with his response to the media. ..in truth he has given United fans nothing with his performances to suggest he has been hard done by. He should take a leaf out of Wan Bisakas book who faced a similar situation but he knuckled down and did his talking on the pitch.

The Rashford comparison is key, speaks volumes. One man heads the criticism, puts his head down and continues to have his most impressive season as a united player...the other tweets... It's not that sanchos been a scapegoat, he's had incredible support but he simply hasn't produced when given the oppurtunity

Sancho was so good at Dortmund. I was sure he was the real thing.

In 5 years: sancho interview with neville about how he wasted his career

Ten haag has achieved so much already with a team that finished 6th, the only bad signing is Antony.

Sancho obviously didn't make the right move, does he not have a team around him to advise him, or at least handle his social media?

We know Sancho is a great player. BUT at the moment he really looks like a Walmart version of Grealish.

No guys, he wasn't even near top5 winger di BVB. The problem in England is recruitment.. you have to have eyes to understand posture, skills in velocity, character, ecc. Only Brighton seem to have it.

He’s doesn’t need jadon sancho they tried to sell him in the summer & no one bought him. This is the same as 4 other players at Man Utd who are on too much money.

for 350k a week i would even consider cleaning the stadium after the games

One thing I'd add is that Sacho's favoured position is on the left wing, which he will never get over Rashford.

It's the money...ManU paid him a world class player wage as soon as he signed. It's so easy for a young player of his age to relax after securing a 200k pounds a week.

Ive never in 2 years agreed with anything this guy has said, whats his name buvey? His opinions are absolutely diabolical

How many top tier manager throw their players under the bus .if ten hag felt sancho wasn’t giving enough as he expected as a manager its ur job to handle that off the pitch . He slaughtered sancho on air , live . And sancho did the same and y’all are blaming him. More over the timing was wrong , you cant say that about someone who hasnt even taken part in a match u just lost .

How do we need Sancho man never turns up it's like he hasn't been playing anyway even when he does

You guys keep on making the case for Sancho. So everyone right now is telling me that Ten Hag is picking players based on performance... Antony is a starter, and Sancho isn't even on the bench. Maguire and Evans come in. There isn't a world where Antony is considered a starter, and Sancho isn't even considered bench worthy. I think Ten Hag plays favorites. He has media connections. He is allowed to go public. The club is allowed to go public. Players however cannot. If the argument is keeping things in house... that goes for everyone. Not just the players. Rashford was a terrible example. He was named on the bench that day. Was still giving an opportunity even after being late. Sancho wasn't even named to the team sheet. Let's not get it twisted. Ten Hag refuses to sub out Bruno, Rashford, and Antony. Those are his favorites. It will start to have an effect on other teammates. Especially deserving ones and especially when Ten Hag goes public with his reasons why he didn't pick someone.

Sancho has only performed at Dotmund, not UNited or England. Many players only do it at one clubs in their career.

The term "England International " doesn't carry the same weight no more International football is bang average, bang average

Tory Jennings making an appearance 😳

im not gonna lie i lowkey think jadon did it so he could get a move

I've said it many times. Utds problems are the players. They're just crap. Simple. The fans can't accept it. How many managers they had?

bundesliga defenders are walking accidents always make a point of ignoring the successes of attackers there

How can you be a scapegoat when Maguire is in your club?

My problem is that Ten Haag has given out the players private medical details.....

ETH didn't slag him off. He just said this week he wasn't up to it at training

Nothing is better the buvey and Rory

He always finds away of putting City in the Conversation 😅

Its simple Half of the United players are not playing for the manager or the club they’re just playing for the pay check and it shows. When you play for the badge the club the fans and the manager the results automatically reflects because these players are not all bums but they’re playing like bums cus they really don’t care what happens.

Maurizio Sarri plays wonderful football, done well and doing well at Lazio. It's getting to the point that whomever Rory doesn't like turns out to be solid. Lol

Personally, I don't think this is as much as it's been blown up to be. I don't think this is on the same level as the Kepa/Sarri incident, it's not even close to the Ronaldo/Ten Hag bust up. It seems to me like a player speaking their mind after being disgruntled at not playing, rather than him going after the manager. That being said, if Sancho thinks his current levels are good enough when he's the highest paid player in the team, he should think again. I don't think theres a single United fan who would side with Sancho over Ten Hag. And if he does end up going (as early as January some reports are saying) rather than fighting for his spot, thats such a disappointment because I've been waiting for Sancho to have a proper 9 to work with since he came in, I thought there might be an opportunity for him to show the creative ability he has which Rashford and Antony don't, and you might see him take one of their spots.

Sancho was good pre season he hasn't been given good minutes though

Not to say we should start believing them given how they go about putting out their "defence" but when Ronaldo and Sancho are coming out with similar issues against the manager...... Well.... is the manager actually the problem all along?

Am going and sitting in the home end - anyone else? 😬

If I was playing bad on that money id let him say whatever about me 😂

You don’t fix a club like that in 1 year. Fergie took 6 to get them a title. The place is so badly run. Fergie papered over the rot the glazers caused.

Yet according to Sancho it's EVERYBODY elses fault but his. Publicly calls our manager a liar then goes partying in NewYork. I can't wait for him to go.

Is Adam still part of this podcast he's never here... I'm much happier for it

There is some off field issue with Sancho and it will all come out in the wash.

Rory don’t half chat shit! Rooney was the one always having a pop at Ronaldo! He retaliated! Not the way you say!

Before I watch this, is it Going to be actual problems with him and worth a listen or just rival fans talking nonsense?

Right, get it, Sancho now Public Enemy No 1, great timing TH, a triple whammy now with Sancho, Anthony and Greenwood, the soap opera continues

There so many players who are writing cheques their ego can’t cash. Sancho and Mudryk need to get out England now, both are incapable of performing on a football pitch for whatever reason. I think they are a waste of time.

The issue is this two clubs that can kill your career Man u and Chelsea that the truth.. 😢😢😢

Take Wilfred Zaha and then zap all the Hunger, drive and pace out of him then you have Sancho.

Why have this conversation without Adam>????

The disrespect towards Martinez is out of this world. He has been a great signing. Solid 8 out of 10 every game last season. How is that not even good in your books ? Such pathetic bs. If he was at any other club you would all be tickling his tacker begging he joins you
