Graham Roberts has made it clear that he doesn’t want Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur to sign Jadon Sancho from Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.

The 23-year-old has perhaps played his last game under Erik ten Hag after a very public and controversial falling out with the Manchester United manager, as the Tottenham legend stated on Twitter that there is ‘no chance’ the currently unbeaten Premier League side should bring him in.

Erik ten Hag made it clear that he isn’t happy with what he is seeing from Jadon Sancho in training, but rather than take that on the chin, he proceeded to publicly bash his manager, as reported by Sky Sports.

All in all, it has raised suggestions that the England international, who was once signed for £73 million from Borussia Dortmund (Sky Sports), will be heading for the exit door when the transfer window re-opens.

As of this moment, his value is dropping, and unless there is a change in these coming months, then it’s probably a loan move in the winter.

All in all, one supporter proceeded to bring Tottenham’s name into the picture, but Graham Roberts was having none of it.

Jadon Sancho at Tottenham?

“No chance,” said Roberts. “If he is late for training for Dortmund and Man Utd, then we don’t need that sort of player.”

Sancho is shooting himself in the foot

This is a dangerous game the winger is playing because, whilst Cristiano Ronaldo could fall back on being who he was, Sancho can’t.

Even before ten Hag entered the building, he was struggling for form.

So, forget about what your manager thinks about you, the performances from Sancho, in general, for club and country, have been shocking.

The former Dortmund man can have this standoff all he wants, but at the end of the day, he is only harming his own career.
