Jadon Sancho’s recent statements have thrust him into the spotlight following Manchester United’s defeat to Arsenal. He has claimed that he has been unfairly portrayed as a scapegoat during his tenure at United, in response to remarks made by manager Erik ten Hag.
When asked about the surprising decision to exclude Sancho from the squad for the Arsenal match, Dutch manager Erik ten Hag explained, “Jadon, based on his performances in training, was not selected.”
In response to Erik ten Hag‘s comments in a post-match interview, the English winger took to social media to offer his perspective.
He posted, “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people to say things that are completely untrue. I have conducted myself well in training this week, I believe there are other reasons behind this matter that I won’t delve into. I’ve been portrayed as a scapegoat for a long time, which isn’t fair.”

Sancho concluded his statement by expressing his respect for the coaching staff’s decision and a determination to continue giving his all for the club, no matter the circumstances.
Sancho’s struggles have been evident since his much-anticipated move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United in 2021 for a hefty fee of $92 million. With a track record of 50 goals and 64 assists in 134 matches for the German side, he was expected to provide a versatile solution for United on both wings.
However, his time at Manchester United has seen him struggle to live up to his price tag, with only 12 goals and six assists in 82 games. This issue does not appear to be specific to a particular manager, as similar challenges persisted under the previous manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
Piers Morgan invites Jadon Sancho for an interview
Amid the ongoing drama, television personality Piers Morgan has seized the opportunity to extend an invitation to Jadon Sancho, urging him to share his side of the story on his talk show, Piers Uncensored.
Piers Morgan, the well-known English broadcaster whose career commenced at The Sun, turned to social media to quote Sancho’s response to Erik ten Hag. In his tweet, Morgan wrote, “Hi Jadon, come on Piers Uncensored and I’ll get you out of this Ten Hag nightmare.”

Piers Morgan’s reputation for securing exclusive interviews that make headlines was underscored by his conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo back in November 2022.
Ronaldo, facing similar challenges with Erik ten Hag’s management, had chosen Piers Uncensored as the platform to share his perspective. This pivotal interview played a pivotal role in Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United and his subsequent move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia in 2023.
Now, Piers Morgan seeks to garner tabloid attention once more, offering another exclusive interview opportunity with a prominent Manchester United star. As an ardent Arsenal supporter, Morgan would undoubtedly relish the chance to contribute to the perceived instability within the Manchester United camp once again.
