Mikel Blames Erik ten Hag over Jadon Sancho Saga

Former Chelsea star John Mikel Obi has come down hard on Manchester United Manager, Erik ten Hag, over his handling of the Jadon Sancho situation.

Sancho, 23, has been frozen out at Manchester United after he went on social media to criticize the manager after he told the media the winger has not been doing well in training.

“Everyone thinks that Sancho does not apologise, I have a different view on it. My view is that the manager should not have openly criticize Sancho in  publicly. I wouldn’t come out publicly,” he said in the podcast The Obi One.

He added: “When you listen to former United players, they’ve all said one thing, that when things like this happened before under (Sir Alex) Ferguson, it was brought up in the dressing room, he dealt with it.

“It doesn’t matter how he handled it, but he handled it. If his decision was that the player should not be involved anymore, so be it. You can’t come out in public and criticize a player and say he didn’t train well,” conclude Mikel in the podcast.
