Erik ten Hag wishes Jadon Sancho ‘well’ in no-nonsense message after Manchester United exit

Erik ten Hag has wished Jadon Sancho well following his loan move away from Manchester United.

The winger has endured a turbulent time at Old Trafford in recent months after falling out of favour under the Dutch head coach.

Having failed to establish himself in the first team, Sancho fell out with Ten Hag, leading to him being banished from the squad following a bitter dispute.

With the 23-year-old not featuring for Man United since the end of August, the decision was made to allow the player to leave on loan this month.

His former club Borussia Dortmund won the race to sign him on loan, with that deal confirmed on Thursday and the player declaring he felt like he was 'home'.

While the media hoped that Ten Hag would offer more of an explanation on Sancho's circumstances, the Red Devils boss instead offered a somewhat short response to questions.

Speaking in his Friday press conference ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham, the manager said about Sancho: "I hope he's doing well, so I wish him the best of good luck. That's it.

"I hope he's doing well and he'll be a success."

Probed further on the loan move, Ten Hag added: "I replied, I think it's enough."

Sancho joined United in 2021 for a fee in the region of £73million, but his move to Old Trafford has not been a successful one.

The winger has made 82 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists.

He has now returned to Dortmund hoping to revive his stalling career back in Germany, where he impressed with a record of 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 games.
