No-nonsense pundit, Roy Keane has offered Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho some brutal words of advice following his exile from Erik ten Hag’s squad.

Sancho And Ten Hag’s Bust-Up

Sancho has been banished from the Manchester United squad since his Tweet responding to the Dutch manager’s public criticism of his training standards.

The 23-year-old, who has struggled since signing for Manchester United in 2021 for £73m, responded: “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.

“I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!”

Since then the former Manchester City youngster has deactivated his Instagram account as his feud with ten Hag continues.

What did Roy Keane say?

Club legend and former Manchester United captain, Roy Keane has offered some predictably stern advice to the United winger.

Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Keane said: “My annoyance with Sancho would be if he is not training properly. Whatever it is about his personality, we’re all different.

“I’d be embarrassed, I’d be ashamed of my life if the manager ever came up to me, or even spoke through the media because you get over that stuff.”

Keane continued: “If you have got question marks over this player, he is not training properly, but he does turn around and show some sort of humility and goes: ‘Yeah, I think I got it wrong.’ I do think you can move on very quickly.

“We have been in dressing rooms where players have made mistakes and they do say sorry and it is forgotten about. Football dressing rooms are a strange dynamic, if players show that they care and are human, you go: ‘That’s fine’ and move on very, very quickly.”

With no apology in sight from Sancho and ten Hag unwilling to draft the 23-year-old back into first-team action until he has one, it looks as if Sancho could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Do you think Sancho can revive his Manchester United career?
