BREAKING NEWS: Away from Home hasn’t been easy for me,I want OLD TRAFFORD RETURN now because this is my Home and I want to finish as a legend of this Club”, Another Man United player who had serious issue with Ten Hag that year is now pleading with the board to approve His return by January – Not Sancho and Not Greenwood.
Being away from home hasn’t been easy for me. I want to return to Old Trafford because it feels like home, and I want to finish my career as a legend of this club. Another Manchester United player, who had serious issues with Erik ten Hag that year, is now reportedly asking the board to approve his return in January. This player is neither Jadon Sancho nor Mason Greenwood.
Roy Keane, a fan of Jadon Sancho, has dismissed claims that Manchester United made a mistake by loaning him to Chelsea last summer. Sancho joined Chelsea on a season-long loan during the transfer window deadline day and is set to make the move permanent for around £25 million at the end of the season.
Ten Hag approved Sancho’s departure despite their reconciliation following a public fallout that resulted in Sancho’s four-month exclusion from first-team training.
Since his move, Sancho has thrived back in London, contributing to Enzo Maresca’s surprising Premier League title challenge with consistent performances. He has scored two goals and provided five assists in eight starts across the Premier League and UEFA Conference League. Chelsea, almost guaranteed a top-14 finish, are expected to trigger an obligation to buy Sancho, a deal seemingly favorable for all parties.
Sancho’s resurgence builds on his promising performances during a loan stint at Borussia Dortmund in the latter half of last season, following his £73 million transfer to United in 2021.
Despite this, Roy Keane has downplayed suggestions that United erred in letting him go, emphasizing that some players are better suited to certain clubs. Speaking on The Overlap, Keane remarked, “Sancho definitely has talent, but some players thrive at clubs that fit them better. Sometimes it’s about timing and the right environment. Maybe Chelsea is a better fit for him. I wouldn’t rush to bring him back to United.”
Gary Neville added to the discussion, questioning whether Marcus Rashford, witnessing the success of former United players like Sancho, might feel similarly motivated to leave Old Trafford.
Earlier this week, Rashford hinted at his readiness for a new challenge after 20 years at the club. Keane concurred, stating, “That’s clearly where his mindset is.” The 27-year-old forward could leave as early as January if suitable offers arise, signaling a major moment in INEOS’ determined rebuild.
