Jadon Sancho has struggled to fulfil his lofty potential since joining Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund
Mauricio Pochettino has been told to avoid signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. The 23-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea recently after falling out with Erik ten Hag.
"You have to reach a level everyday at Manchester United and we can make choices in a fortnight and yeah, so for this game he wasn't selected."
Sancho responded to his manager's comments, protesting his innocence. In a statement which was posted across his social media pages, the England international wrote: "Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.
"I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won't go into, I've been a scapegoat for a long time which isn't fair! All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team.
"I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what."
Then, it was later revealed by Fabrizio Romano that Chelsea were offered the chance to sign Sancho this summer as part of swap-deal with Marc Cucurella. However, United pulled the plug on a potential transfer after the Blues left-back featured in the Carabao Cup second round just days before deadline day.
Sancho has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ever since, but Glen Johnson has told Chelsea to not sign the former Borussia Dortmund star. In an interview with BetFred, the former Blues defender said: "If you’re not getting in Manchester United’s squad, then you’re not getting into Chelsea’s.
"Jadon came to the Premier League with a lot of potential, but that potential only lasts so long and you need to start proving it. He joined a huge club with a massive reputation and he hasn’t done anything.
"He’s a bit like Wilfried Zaha, a player that offers an awful lot but offers very little. If you can’t work hard in training then you’re not going to play and as he’s currently not good enough for Manchester United, then he’s not going to be good enough for Chelsea."

i wish all the dark skin players leave United.
you're a fool, you don't see a pig color maguire of 80m playing a disastrous football, despite being in first 11 for 2 seasons, you're here talking trash about a player who barely play, Rashford, wan bissaka, must also go, and Greenwood must not come back to man u, if that's what you want

Sancho is a Bad market player(12 goals in 82 appearances since 2021) for a £73m player 🤣🤣🤣 and you are still siding the lazy youth player🫵

it's insult to put him Zaha's bracket, Zaha has proven himself in the league. but Sancho have not, English press busy blasting other players with huge transfer fees but pretending like Sancho is not part of that list.

I questioned the wisdom Sancho was sent to Holland for a so called “ mental and physical” reshape. He came back worse. ETH is part of the problem

Man want a coach who will deal with speed on midfield and attacking areas. The good players are not giving it all. The players are not gelling in way of play. They are giving the defence players hard work.
