Rangnick: "In the six months I worked with Sancho, he didn't have a single discipline issue"

Over the past four months, Jadon Sancho has gained a reputation for being an undisciplined player, but one of his former coaches at Manchester United, Ralph Rangnick, thinks otherwise.

Sancho was dropped from the MU first team after a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in September 2023. The Red Devils' coach, Erik ten Hag, criticised the player's training ethics, to which Jaydon publicly reacted in the media. Over time, the relationship between the coach and the player did not improve, and Sancho was loaned to his former club, Borussia Dortmund.

German tactician and director of football Ralf Rangnick took over Manchester United for six months after Ule Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked as head coach in November 2021.

"In the six months that I have been dealing with him, he has not had a single discipline problem. On the contrary, he's a calm and nice guy," Rangnick told Sky Germany.

Sancho was not the only player to have disciplinary problems with ten Hag. Cristiano Ronaldo left Old Trafford because of problems with the former Ajax coach.
