      Jadon Sancho’s net worth soared at Man Utd with star banking seven-figure fortune before Ten Hag fallout

      by

      JADON SANCHO kept coining it in – even as his stock started to fall at Manchester United.Latest figures reveal Sancho, currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, saw his off-field fortune grow by nearly £1.5m.Jadon Sancho was a winner off the pitch despite a difficult season at Manchester UnitedCredit: AlamyThe former England winger has a company called Jadon Sancho Management to look after his commercial interests.According to documents filed at Companies House, the firm had net assets of £5,666,632 on June 30 2023, up from £4,117,160 a year earlier.The headline figure is the total assets and debts due to the company, minus the sums owed to its creditors.Intriguingly, the person who owes the company the most money is Sancho himself.READ MORE ON MAN UTDThe accounts reveal that at the end of the reporting period, sole director Sancho had borrowed £5,774,339 for unspecified purposes, but probably separate investments.Sancho had a tough time last season. He spent a few weeks away from United in the middle of the campaign to deal with physical and mental health issues.And the 24-year-old rarely found the kind of form that persuaded United to spend £73m on him back in 2021.Any hopes of a fresh start in this campaign were dashed by a high profile row with boss Erik ten Hag.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSAfter the Dutchman claimed Sancho had been dropped for September’s trip to Arsenal because of poor performances in training, the winger took to social media to brand the explanation “completely untrue”.Ten Hag took a hardline stance on the public show of dissent and banished Sancho to train on his own.Ten Hag claims there were ‘issues’ with Jadon Sancho BEFORE boss arrived at Man Utd and ‘all the way through’Anti-social media – Sancho’s Man Utd exitJADON Sancho’s third season at Manchester United was over before it had really begun.

      The £73m winger had made just three substitute appearances for United before he and boss Erik ten Hag had a very public row.
      The United boss was reportedly unimpressed by Sancho’s efforts when he was in a second-string side on the training ground which was supposed to play like Arsenal against the Dutchman’s likely starting 11.
      The former England star was subsequently left out of the United squad completely for the September 3 trip to the Emirates.
      After the 3-1 defeat by the Gunners, Ten Hag had said of Sancho: “On his performance in training, we didn’t select him. You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.”
      Sancho hit back on Instagram, saying: “I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue.
      “I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe ther are other reasons for this mateter that I won’t go into.
      “I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!”
      When Sancho refused to apologise, he was banished to train on his own and was farmed out on loan to Borussia Dortmund in January.
      And even when praising Sancho for his display for the German side against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter finals, Ten Hag hardly opened the door to an Old Trafford redemption.
      When asked if anything had changed, the Dutchman said: “No, but we know Jadon Sancho is a fantastic football player, so that is not a surprise for us.
      “That is not the issue.” The question now is who will remain on United’s books for longer – Sancho or Ten Hag?

      In January, Sancho rejoined former club Borussia Dortmund on loan and is thriving back in Germany.He has started 10 of Dortmund’s 13 Bundesliga games, scoring twice, and all their ties in the knockout stages of the Champions League in their progress to the semi-finals. More

      MANCHESTER UNITED manager Erik ten Hag could be offered a sensational return to Ajax after a turblent campaign at Old Trafford.Ten Hag, 54, joined United from the Dutch giants in 2022 and enjoyed a successful maiden campaign as he won the Carabao Cup, made it to the FA Cup Final and qualified for the Champions League.Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could return to Ajax in the summerCredit: AlamyTen Hag is Ajax’s top target but talks won’t take place before the FA Cup FinalCredit: GettyHowever, this season has been completely different as the Red Devils finished last in their Champions League group and have officially missed out on a top-four finish in the Premier League.The Dutch tactician has endured a raft of injuries woes and still managed to lead the Manchester giants to back-to-back FA Cup Finals but his future is still under immense doubt.According to transfer expert Marcel van der Kraan, there is a “great escape route” lined up for Ten Hag as he could go back to Ajax where he won six trophies in five years.However, no potential talks will take place before the FA Cup Final against Manchester City on May 25.Read More on Man UtdVan der Kraan told the Trans Europe Express: “There is a great escape route for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag.”Ajax have had a dreadful season – they’ve had three managers, they’ve sacked the technical director Sven Mislintat, they’ve sacked the CEO and brought him back… They’ve sacked almost everyone they can think of and it’s been really dire.”The CEO, the big man who was sacked only two weeks ago for suspected insider trading because he allegedly bought shares just before he was appointed is back on the scene as of on Friday afternoon.”Alex Kroes, who started SEG [Sports Entertainment Group], look after Erik ten Hag, they have done for many years.
