The future of the England international player at Manchester United is uncertain after he publicly responded to his manager, Erik ten Hag, who criticized his performance during training. 

Al-Ettifaq, a team in the Saudi Pro League, is considering making a late move to sign the player before the transfer window in Saudi Arabia closes today.

However, the player and the club have recently denied anything about Jadon Sancho potentially joining Al Ettifaq.

Sancho and Ten Hag rift 

Sancho had previously been out of favour with Ten Hag but returned to the squad last season after taking a three-month break to focus on his mental health. 

However, his recent performances in training haven’t impressed the manager, leading to him being left out of the matchday squad for a recent game against Arsenal. 

Sancho now has an opportunity to start fresh in Saudi Arabia, but it’s still being determined whether he’s interested in making the move.

If Al-Ettifaq wants to sign the English winger, they’ll need to act quickly because the Saudi Arabian transfer window is set to close at 10pm UK time.
