Sancho isn’t Ronaldo or Rooney – Ex-Man Utd star advises Sancho

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has slammed Jadon Sancho for his attitude following his fallout with United boss Erik ten Hag.

The Englishman now faces an uncertain future at the club, with Berbatov suggesting that the 23-year-old made the wrong decision when he chose to go public with his grievances.

“Sometimes a player, and I hope this isn’t the case for Sancho, who takes this long to resolve conflict has overestimated his own value to the club,” the former Manchester United striker said.

“When it’s Ronaldo, for example, it’s different as he’s achieved everything. I was at the club when Wayne Rooney had a fall out with the manager, and they sorted things out. I think Sancho is overestimating his importance. He’s not won that many trophies with them. It’s a different situation.

“United can easily decide to get rid of Sancho over this. As talented as he is, and we all saw it at Dortmund, he has yet to show any of this at United.”

Sancho is training alone and has been banned from all first-team facilities and activities after refusing to apologise to United boss, Erik ten Hag.

He has struggled to nail down a regular spot in the starting XI since his £73m move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021. He has scored just 12 goals in 82 games for the club in all competitions.
