Football5 Options for Jadon Sancho Amid Uncertain Man United Career
- Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag publicly clashed over playing time
- The winger accused Ten Hag of scape-goating him after he axed him from the squad that played Arsenal
- Man United went on to suffer a 3-1 humiliating defeat at the Emirates during the clash
Jadon Sancho is staring at an uncertain future with Manchester United after he seemingly fell out with Erik ten Hag.
The English winger has endured a disastrous spell with the Red Devils since he joined them from Borussia Dortmund.
According to ESPN, Sancho sealed his much-awaited transfer move to Old Trafford in the summer of 2021 in a deal worth €85 million.
However, he has since failed to hit the ground running, with luck of form and injuries taking a huge toll on his career with the Manchester club.
Sancho row with Ten Hag
So much so that the star winger has seemingly fallen out with his own manager, with the situation culminating in a public spat.
Recently, The Mirror reported that the England international openly differed with Ten Hag after he failed to make the squad that lost 3-1 to Arsenal before the international break.
The Dutchman had initially indicated that he did not select Sancho as he was not in good shape in training.
However, the ex-Dortmund ace hit back at the claims via a social media post, alleging that he had been 'scapegoated.'
Jadon Sancho's options
It is understood that Sancho's future at United is hanging by a thread, with the winger expected to evaluate his options.
With the transfer window in Europe already shut, the earliest he can depart the Theatre of Dreams is during the January transfer window.
Before then, Sports Brief takes a look at Sancho's five transfer options:

Football1. Fight for his place
One of the immediate options Sancho has is to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his place.
With Brazilian ace Antony already out as he battles allegations of domestic violence, this would present the embattled Englishman an opportunity to win over Ten Hag's faith.
2. Sit out for the rest of the season
While this could come across as selfish, Sancho could actually opt to sit out for the rest of the season as he continues to pocket his mouthwatering wages of £350,000 per week.
3. Play for the youth side
The ex-Man City ace can consider playing for the U21 side in a bid to regain his form.
This would allow the 23-year-old to maintain his fitness as he awaits to discover his fate.
4. Seal last-minute transfer
The Turkish league is currently the only one yet to have its transfer window shut.

FootballA move to one of Turkey's top clubs could therefore suffice for the winger.
5. Terminate his contract
This is obviously an extreme option.
Terminating his contract will see him join the long list of free agents and afford him an opportunity to seal a move to a club of his choice.
