Former Manchester United and Tottenham ace, Dimitar Berbatov, has said that Jadon Sancho is running out of time at Old Trafford.
According to the Bulgarian, the England international may have ‘overestimated his own value.’
This is following the player’s decision to publicly speak out against his manager Erik ten Hag.
Following Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, Ten Hag had criticised the player publicly, telling the media that the former Borussia Dortmund star does not meet with tasks in training
Sancho responded almost immediately on social media, saying he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ by the Dutchman.
Since then, the once highly rated winger has been removed from the Red Devils XI.
He has also reportedly refused to apologise to the manager.
“Sometimes a player, and I hope this isn’t the case for Sancho, who takes this long to resolve conflict has overestimated his own value to the club,” Berbatov said.
“When it’s Ronaldo, for example, it’s different as he’s achieved everything. I was at the club when Wayne Rooney had a fall out with the manager, and they sorted things out. I think Sancho is overestimating his importance. He’s not won that many trophies with them. It’s a different situation.
“United can easily decide to get rid of Sancho over this. As talented as he is, and we all saw it at Dortmund, he has yet to show any of this at United.
“The club has to ask itself questions, too, asking whether they made the player feel comfortable and if they gave him the right environment.
“It’s a two-way street, especially when you’ve spent so much money on your asset, you need to make the player comfortable and help them feel appreciated enough to show his talents.”
