      But despite rejoining Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season, TNT Sports pundit Sutton reckons he will be sticking around at Man Utd in the long-term.
      The former Celtic and Blackburn star pointed to the lack of a buy option in Sancho’s loan deal as a sign he will be staying in Manchester in the summer.
      Speaking on the It’s All Kicking Off podcast, he said: “There’s no agreement to sell on, I suspect Sancho will outlast Ten Hag at Manchester United,
      “It’s ended like this, but I suspect he’ll be back at Manchester United and if Ten Hag carries on the way he’s going, I suspect he’ll be off at the end of the season.”

      Ten Hag has been under mounting pressure with the Red Devils after a disappointing campaign so far.
      United crashed out of the Champions League at the base of their group and currently sit eighth in the Premier League table having lost ALMOST HALF of all their league games this season.
      To make matters worse for ten Hag there is a microscope on him at Old Trafford since the investment of British Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
      Despite the shocking form of Man Utd without Sancho in the frame, Sutton claimed that ten Hag has handled the war-of-words between the two well.

      He said: “I think you have a player there, a talented young player who, for whatever reason, thinks he’s bigger than the club, bigger than Manchester United.
      “And what he did to Ten Hag on social media was utterly ridiculous. It was pathetic.”
      Sancho was banished from the first team after he claimed he was being made a “scapegoat” by the former Ajax boss.
      Ten Hag had suggested Sancho’s training performances were not up to scratch after leaving him out of the squad for Man Utd’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal back in September.
      The England international’s exile saw him having to eat his lunch away from the first team, train on his own and stay away from all senior facilities.

      Erik ten Hag lines up another Ajax star to replace Martial as Man Utd fans say ‘keep this man away from transfers’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have lined up another Ajax star to replace Anthony Martial, according to reports.Martial has six months remaining on his United contract and is set to leave as a free agent this summer, despite United having the option to extend his deal by another year.

      As reported by The Athletic, Martial has rejected opportunities to move during this transfer window as he looks for a bigger payday as a free agent.
      And according to The Mirror, Ten Hag may look to bring in a forward he has worked with before in Brian Brobbey, 21.
      The United boss handed Brobbey his Ajax debut back in 2020 and would be keen on him as a summer signing.
      While Ten Hag wants to bring in a forward in January, the club are likely limited by FFP to only bring one in on loan – ruling out a move for the Dutch forward.

      United scouts will continue to track the player ahead of a possible summer move when Martial leaves as a free agent.
      Arsenal, who have also been looking for a forward in this market, have also taken a look at Brobbey.
      Brobbey scored six goal on his debut season for Ajax in 2020 before leaving to join RB Leipzig for free.
      After failing to score in his 14 appearances for the German side he was loaned back to Ajax in January 2022 before signing for them permanently.

      His 12 goals on his return helped Ajax and Ten Hag to their last Eredivisie title.
      Ten Hag reportedly instructed United to enquire over the signing of Brobbey when he joined United in the summer of 2022, however he re-signed permanently for Ajax after they exercised his £16million buy-back clause.
      It wouldn’t be the first time United have signed a player Ten Hag has managed before, and fans aren’t too happy about that prospect.
      The Dutchman brought in Antony for £80m shortly after joining the club and instructed the club to sign Sofyan Amrabat on loan last summer and both have fallen well below expectations.
      Lisandro Martinez also played for Ten Hag at Ajax and has been good on the whole, but Tyrell Malacia less so.
      On the Brobbey links, one fan on Twitter said: “Keep this man away from the transfers man.”
      Another wrote: “He’s signing another flop.”
      Brobbey has eight goals and four assists in 15 Eredivisie games this season. More

      Sancho is looking to revive his career after spending four months in exile at Manchester United.
      He has not played any football since his public fall out with Ten Hag.
      Sancho was left out of the squad for United’s trip to Arsenal in September with the boss citing his “performances in training.”
      The attacker then took to social media and claimed he was made a “scapegoat” by Ten Hag.
      He then refused to apologise and was banned from training and all first-team facilities.
      Sancho returns to Dortmund after spending four years there from 2017 to 2021.
      The fans’ favourite scored 50 goals and got 64 assists in 137 games, earning him a £73million move to Man Utd.
      But he has suffered a nightmare at Old Trafford, struggling to hit top form as he found the back of the net just 12 times in 82 games.
      The 23-time capped England star also managed a paltry six assists.
      Ex-United star Louis Saha slammed him as one of the club’s “biggest transfer failures” ever when speaking to Paddy Power.
      Sancho’s Red Devils contract runs until 2026 and his parent club are reportedly paying £100,000 of his weekly £290,000 salary while he is in Germany.
      Dortmund supposedly do not have an option to buy included in the loan deal.
