Jadon Sancho reveals how Erik ten Hag is unlocking the “intelligence” of Manchester United players
Jadon Sancho has heaped praise on the Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag amid the player’s impressive start to the Premier League season.
Sancho has shown a level above his performances in his debut season and has taken more responsibility for the team, scoring two wonderful goals against Liverpool and Leicester City in the process.
Speaking post the win against Leicester City (h/t Mirror), the playmaker said:
“We have a style of play, some of it is just understanding the intelligence of our players, we’re getting to know each other. We have more information now – a clearer plan of what to do – especially in some areas of the pitch.”
Erik Ten Hag had the worst possible start to his Premier League career with defeats against Brighton and Brentford in the first two games and many already wrote the season off for the club.
However, a change in attitude and intensity has allowed us to get three straight wins, a feat we have not achieved since April 2021 and to add to the stat, there have been two consecutive clean sheets which will be a confidence booster for our defence.
We have clearly seen a progression in the team and two clean sheets consecutively show a change in approach from Erik Ten Hag who has refrained from playing out the back for the time being.
This has suited the team more and although the wins have not been eye-pleasing victories, it is evident of a belief in the manager’s methods by the players and the results are its by-product.
Jadon Sancho has been exceptionally well since Ten Hag has come in and it seems like is the right manager to bring the best out of England International, who has loads of potential to become a world-class player for us.
