It’s safe to say that United could benefit from Sancho’s talents, even under new boss Ruben Amorim, especially given the poor form of the likes of Marcus Rashford.
That’s the view of Cole, who has blamed Ten Hag for making Sancho’s situation at Old Trafford untenable.
“Sancho’s situation could have been handled in a very different way. Now he plays for Chelsea and scores goals. Man United will look at it and say: “We would have liked Sancho to be fit like that,” Cole said. talkSPORT.
The former Chelsea and West Ham striker added: “But because Ten Hag made him uncomfortable to be there, he had to find a new home where he could settle in and be the player we know he can be.”
