Erik ten Hag’s response when asked about Jadon Sancho’s penalty miss speaks volumes

Erik ten Hag’s response to Jadon Sancho’s penalty miss for Manchester United in the Community Shield says it all.

United lost 7-6 to City in the penalty shootout after both Sancho and Jonny Evans missed their spot kicks.

In normal time, Alejandro Garnacho put Unitedahead at Wembley on 82 minutes, but Bernardo Silva equalised seven minutes later with one of just three shots on target over the 90 minutes.

And although Evans’ penalty was hit comfortably over the bar, Sancho was only denied by a fine save from Ederson, who pushed his spot kick onto the post.

The England winger was playing his first competitive fixture for United in nearly a year after he was exiled from the first team following a public dispute with Ten Hag last September.
