Former Arsenal and Dortmund chief scout Sven Mislintat highlighted how Jadon Sancho was misused by Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Jadon Sancho was exiled from all first-team facilities at Manchester United after responding publicly to criticism from his manager back in September.
The winger was handed a lifeline however after recently completing his return to Borussia Dortmund, signing a loan contract until the end of the season with no purchase option.
A bright start to life in his second spell at Dortmund saw Sancho grab an assist on his first game back in the Bundesliga against Darmstadt before inspiring his side to a 4-0 win over Koln last week.
Having signed Sancho at Dortmund back in 2017, Sven Mislintat spoke about the Englishman’s qualities and believes he could’ve been a ‘difference-maker’ for Manchester United under Erik ten Hag.
Mislintat blames Erik ten Hag
“Jadon Sancho was the last transfer that Michael Zorc [ex-Dortmund sporting director] and I worked on together,” Mislintat told Sky Germany.
“On one hand, he’s a sensational guy and has a good heart, and on the other, he’s an absolute difference-maker in the Bundesliga.
“If you get the chance to sign a player like that and your budget allows it, it’s a no-brainer. I’m a bit negatively surprised that Erik ten Hag wasn’t able to get the best out of him, because Manchester United would have benefited from this quality.”
While it remains to be seen whether Sancho will represent Manchester United again next season, the Red Devils will certainly feel they could’ve gotten more out of the 23-year-old.
After his big £73 million move to the Premier League in 2021, Sancho looked destined to succeed at the record English champions but his fallout with Ten Hag could be the final straw.
