The Manchester United should well consider unleashing an exciting young talent in place of Jadon Sancho.
As Manchester United crashed to defeat away to rivals Arsenal in their last Premier League outing.
it was yet another day in which the Red Devils’ attacking unit simply failed to click, having been reliant on a rare breakaway from Marcus Rashford to eventually get on the scoresheet.
Remarkably, the Englishman’s first-half strike was the first by any member of the forward line so far this term.
With the club’s top-flight goals prior to that having come from Raphael Varane, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.
While there is nothing wrong with sharing the goalscoring burden, it represents a sorry state of affairs for those at the top end of the pitch,
With manager Erik ten Hag likely hoping that summer signing Rasmus Hojlund – who made a late cameo debut appearance at the weekend – can begin to catch fire following the international break.
What has happened to Jadon Sancho at Man United?
While treble winner Dwight Yorke previously suggested that the 23-year-old was on “borrowed time” at the Theatre of Dreams.
The former Borussia Dortmund man firing back at his manager on Twitter amid criticism of his training performance by the Dutchman.
For whom he scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 games.
Who could replace Sancho at Man United?
It has been hard for the London-born enigma to find a settled home in Ten Hag’s side with both Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho the favoured options on the left flank, while Antony has been the regular pick on the opposite wing.
Sancho was even trialled as an unorthodox centre-forward option in pre-season,
But the £72m capture of Hojlund has ensured that such an experiment is unlikely to continue,
Hence leaving the Englishman as something of a spare part.
The likes of Amad and Pellistri may be the names on everybody’s lips,
But yet it could be Mejia who emerges as one to watch this season.
