Former Manchester United midfielder Gordon Strachan has advised winger Jadon Sancho to apologize to his manager Erik ten Hag following his recent comments on social media.
Strachan said that Sancho needs to learn to handle the truth and figure out what he’s doing wrong, rather than feeling as though he’s being attacked. He added that the first thing he would say to a player is to look at themselves and apologize to the manager.
Strachan’s comments come after Sancho called out Ten Hag’s complaints about his training routine to the media. The 23-year-old has since deleted his post on Twitter, but he is believed to be out of his boss’ first-team plans for this campaign.
Strachan’s advice to Sancho is sound. It is important for players to be able to handle criticism and learn from their mistakes. Apologizing to the manager would be a good way for Sancho to show that he is committed to the team and wants to improve.
