“This is the reason for his good performance at Dortmund. When he was in Dortmund, I watched all his matches and noticed the mistakes we have been making with him, and I found out why he has not been performing in Manchester United. This is what we are going to do with him to help him score goalsand assists more often”-Erik ten Hag stuns everyone by offering Jadon Sancho new Man Utd role nobody saw coming as which will give Sancho the freedom to score and assist more.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is considering deploying Jadon Sancho in a new and unique role this season.

The Red Devils have been dealing with injuries during pre-season, affecting players like Rasmus Hojlund, Leny Yoro, and Jonny Evans.

In their final match in the United States, a 3-0 loss to Liverpool, Sancho was experimented with in a different attacking role.

As the Community Shield approaches, United is eager for their key players to return from international duties and be ready for the new season. Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo have not yet returned after England’s Euro 2024 final defeat, while Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Diogo Dalot have resumed training at Carrington.

Following the defeat to Liverpool, Ten Hag was questioned about his attacking lineup for the upcoming match against Manchester City.

When asked if Sancho could be utilized as a striker, Ten Hag responded, “Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t have played him there. It’s an option if Rasmus isn’t available. Joshua Zirkzee has also joined us and started training, but he’ll need time to adjust to English football and our style of play. Jadon playing as a striker is definitely a possibility. He can operate on the wings or as a false nine. Marcus has experience playing centrally, but he excels when starting wide on the left and cutting inside. We have other alternatives too, including Bruno Fernandes, who can also play as a striker.”
