Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has had a public fallout with manager Erik Ten Hag. Since then the Dutchman’s man-management skills have been under question. Now, after Sancho was banished from first-team training, this has worsened the situation, and FC Barcelona is reported to be interested in the left-winger.
Barcelona is one club that seems to take advantage of such situations and that is what has happened with Sancho according to some recent reports. Wherever a player seems discontent with his club and his market value decreases, the Spanish giants plot a move and secure transfers. Just like they got Felix and Cancelo in the recent transfer window.

As per the reports from SPORT, Barca is looking to bolster their left-wing position following Ansu Fati and Abde Ezzalzouli’s departures. They have got Sancho on their radar. While Sancho is hurt as he showed in his statement, a move to Barca is still a long shot. From Saudi clubs to Dortmund, several teams have been linked with the players lately and it remains to be seen what is the outcome of it.

But, with the given situation at hand, a move away from Old Trafford seems a wise option for Jadon Sancho to take. Erik Ten Hag wants an apology from Sancho, which the player has refused, fueling the tensions even more.

One thing that is evident in the club is the heightened ego of the players and managers. This has followed since Sir Alex Ferguson, with David Moyes being an exception. This culture at Manchester United has often resulted in managers losing out on the dressing room and the club struggling on the pitch.
However, with a massive wage of £350,000, it will be a struggle for the Catalonian club to offer something similar to the once coveted winger, who has since failed to live up to his potential.
FC Barcelona has had a momentous start to the season, witnessing a 5-0 victory over Real Betis. The hopes are high with Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix scoring their debut goals for the club. Robert Lewandowski added to the scoreline with a well-executed goal. The match took place at Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium because Camp Nou is undergoing renovation.

Ferran Torres also contributed for the Blaugrana with an intelligent free-kick along with Raphinha. This victory moved Barcelona to the top of the La Liga standings, making a solid statement for Real Madrid. With players like Ronald Araujo returning to the first team, hopes have glimmered for the Catalan club.
Xavis‘ tactical masterclass seems to be working well, as even in Pedri’s absence Barcelona have their midfield covered. The team next plays in the Champions League and will be looking to return to their glory days.
