JADON SANCHO has heard the advice to mature countless times, but it hasn’t yet dawned on him.

There is no denying his immense potential, but Gareth Southgate, Pep Guardiola, former teammate Emre Can, Dortmund managers, and club officials have all questioned his work ethic and way of life.

Erik ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, has now obviously had enough.

Sancho runs the risk of ruining what could and still has the potential to be a terrific career. He is no longer a young child prodigy at the age of 23.

Instead, he needs to start owning up to his mistakes. However, based on his social media post from Sunday night, this is not going to happen anytime soon.

Ten Hag benching Sancho for the trip to Arsenal marked a new low for his United career.

After being accused of improper training, Sancho came out strong, effectively calling his boss a liar and asserting that he had been used as a “scapegoat”.You have to question whether Sancho is being led by anyone.He’s either not paying attention to them, or if he is, the player should ask someone else for better advice.Considering that United paid Dortmund £73 million for him in 2021 and agreed to a five-year, £350,000 per week contract costing a total of £91 million, this deal threatens to be another financial disaster for the club.A week after missing a penalty attempt for England in the Euro 2020 championship match against Italy, Sancho signed a contract with United.His last Three Lions appearance since then came in October 2021 against Andorra, earning him his 23rd and final cap.In the same way that Ten Hag has run out of patience, England manager Southgate wasn’t always pleased with Sancho’s effort in practice. However, United was always aware of the warnings. Can, a former midfielder for Liverpool, loved Sancho very much.But he was upset with his Dortmund friend when, during the 2020 lockdown, he was seen getting a haircut at home without a face mask.Manuel Akanji, a teammate, did the same thing, and the German League punished them both £8,500 for their actions. Sounds recognizable?Jadon needs some direction, Can stated at the time. He’s a fantastic kid both on and off the field.He simply has to be a little bit more knowledgeable about these issues. Everyone requires a hairstylist. He has to mature.He can’t afford to continue making errors like that.Sancho delayed the team’s flight to Tottenham during his tenure at Dortmund because he forgot his passport at home.He received numerous fines for being late to training.Sancho was penalized £86,000 by Borussia Dortmund for arriving late to training while on England duty in 2020, and enraged manager Lucien Favre forced him to run by himself in the pouring rain.He received a beating from furious Dortmund management for flying on a private aircraft to Dubai with a filmmaker and being caught eating a £200 gold-plated steak at Salt Bae’s.He was substituted in another game after 36 minutes in a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich and said he “felt like a scapegoat” in the aftermath.Again, does this sound familiar? Sancho had missed a few training sessions even before his £8 million transfer from Manchester City to Dortmund in August 2017. Sancho reneged on a new deal with City after “shaking hands” on the contract, according to Guardiola, after he signed for Dortmund.He was at St. George’s Park with the England team during the Euros prior to joining United in 2021.Southgate acknowledged that his inadequate training was the reason he had not played as frequently.The Three Lions manager pulled Sancho aside and pleaded with him to change his attitude, but it was obvious that Sancho paid little attention.Sancho’s performances for England ultimately fell short, with only a few matches featuring outstanding performances.This also holds true for United. There haven’t even been any 9/10 or 10/10 performances.His greatest achievement was scoring the first goal in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool in August 2022 to usher in the Ten Hag era. Even while they are all anxious for him to be successful at Old Trafford, he hasn’t given many United supporters a reason to get up and leave their seats.Last season, Ten Hag gave Sancho three months off from United so he could improve on his physical and mental health in Holland because the manager was concerned about the player.Although he scored against Leeds in his second game back after leaving the team in February, his performance was still far from what was anticipated.He now has two options as his entire career comes to a crossroads.I’m hoping Sancho still finds the proper route. Maybe he will remember that a player can only stay at the top if they are always committed and professional, like England captain Harry Kane.Sancho would want to take a look at Jude Bellingham, who arrived at Dortmund not long after him.Bellingham moved to a bigger team, is thriving at Real Madrid, and is on the fast track to becoming a superstar.Sancho needs to watch out so he doesn’t become a wasted talent.And a costly one at that.
