Man Utd were 'hours' away from losing transfer target to Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp chat<\/h3>\n

Manchester United face a similar situation with Jadon Sancho as the club did with Wayne Rooney under Sir Alex Ferguson, according to former teammate Dimitar Berbatov. But the Old Trafford icon believes Erik ten Hag should do the opposite to Ferguson and let Sancho leave if they can’t fix their fractured relationship.<\/p>\n

Sancho has been absent from five United matchday squads, starting against Arsenal at the beginning of the month after Ten Hag claimed his training levels weren’t up to standard.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old’s reaction, calling Ten Hag a liar on social media, resulted in banishment from the United first team, which is set to continue until he apologises for his explosive statement.<\/p>\n

Berbatov is no stranger to behind-the-scenes controversy at United, and has compared Sancho’s fallout to the situations Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo faced at the club.<\/p>\n

However, he has questioned the United No 25’s attitude, given he hasn’t come close to repaying his \u00a373million transfer fee, never mind reaching the levels of Rooney and Ronaldo at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

And Berbatov believes Ten Hag must sanction an exit if the situation doesn’t improve ahead of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

He told Betfair: “If it continues like this, Jadon Sancho is going to go nowhere at the club. I’m very disappointed that a situation like this has been made public and a lot of people are discussing it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The manager makes the decisions, though, and if Sancho doesn’t apologise to Ten Hag publicly or privately and understands his mistake the right way.<\/p>\n

“Once he’s done that, he needs to earn his place in the team – and the only way to do that is by training harder and playing well when the chance arises.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

When it’s Ronaldo, it’s different as he’s achieved everything.<\/p>\n

“I was at the club when Wayne Rooney had a fallout with the manager, and they sorted things out. I think Sancho is overestimating his importance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“We can only speculate why that is; maybe it’s his surroundings or the people who he’s around, or maybe it’s because he doesn’t agree with the manager.<\/p>\n

“If this drags on anymore, I can’t see it getting better, and it’s best to part ways.”<\/p>\n

United endured a poor start to the season, losing four of their opening six games, but didn’t miss Sancho in back-to-back wins against Burnley and Crystal Palace over the last week.<\/p>\n

And even though he is short on attacking numbers, Ten Hag looks ready to taste short-term pain for long-term gain through a harmonious dressing room.<\/p>\n
