Manchester United reportedly made a bizarre request to TV pundits over their treatment of Jadon Sancho during his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund last season.
The 24-year-old – who was loaned to Chelsea in a deadline-day deal that should be made permanent in 2025 – spent the second half of last term with erstwhile team Dortmund after his high-profile falling-out with Erik ten Hag.
Sancho and Ten Hag were at odds for months after the Dutchman left the winger out of the matchday squad for their 3-1 loss to Arsenal in September 2023, claiming that his poor performances in training were to blame.
The Manchester City academy graduate rejected his manager’s version of events, effectively calling him a liar with a bombshell social media statement and subsequently being ostracised from the group.
Sancho was not allowed near the first-team facilities, and all the signs pointed towards a permanent parting of the ways in January, but the Red Devils were not able to find any buyers for the winger.
