Manchester-United pilot Erik ten Hag moved Jadon Sancho aside from the activities of the representative team in October. On Wednesday, Sancho returned to the Premier League pitches after a break of more than three months.
Jadon Sancho made a successful return to the Premier League green on Wednesday when he managed to score in the Leeds net.
Sancho, 22, ran onto the field from the substitute’s place on the hour mark and scored a 2-2 equalizer ten minutes later.
Manchester United was already at home with a 0-2 loss to Leeds, who are struggling against relegation. Marcus Rashford reduced at just over an hour, and Sancho saved a point for the third in the series. At the same time, the two showed “You brought your country a disappointment” to the screaming Leeds fans.
Rashford and Sancho both failed in the EC final penalty shootout in the summer of 2021.
It was the winger’s first appearance in the Premier League since last October. Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag sent the millionaire acquisition to Holland in October to train, as he did not consider that he was mentally and physically fit to play.
Sancho was left out of England’s World Cup squad and withdrew from social media.
Sancho got his first minutes since October in the League Cup a week ago. At the same time, Sancho made a return to social media, and thanked On his Instagram account for the support he received from fans. (you switch to another service)
The English pier’s performance on Wednesday was also praised by ten Hag.
– I am proud of his performance. He is a great football player and if he puts his mind to the right things, he can become an excellent one. I support him and the other coaches support him, but in the end games he has to do the work, ten Hag told the BBC. (you switch to another service)
United acquired Sancho from Dortmund in the summer of 2021 for 85 million euros, but he has not managed to live up to expectations in the Premier League.
“On the way in the right direction”
The Manchester group suffers from injury concerns, as for example the Danish talent Cristian Eriksen is gone until the end of April, Casemiro serving his three-match ban and Anthony missed at least Wednesday’s Leeds match due to a leg injury.
Sancho will probably have responsibility in future fights as well.
– At the moment, he is in a good mood and the successes will certainly strengthen and motivate him. He is heading in the right direction and if he continues the process, he will help us achieve our goals, ten Hag assured.
United face Leeds again on Sunday before traveling to Barcelona in the Europa League. Next weekend in the Premier League, they will face Leicester.
