Former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi has insisted that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has thrown Jadon Sancho under the bus for publicly criticizing his performances for the club. Mikel Obi believes Ten Hag was in the wrong for his action over Sancho, adding that it doesn't make sense for the England winger to
apologize to the Dutchman. Recall that Ten Hag had told the media after Man United’s defeat to Arsenal in September that Sancho was not meeting the professional standards expected of a Man United player. The former Ajax coach cited poor application in training as the reason for Sancho’s absence during Man United’s Premier League 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
'It doesn't matter how he handled it but he handled it. If his decision was for the player not to be involved anymore, that is it. You cannot come out publicly and criticize a player and say he was not training really well. 'What do you expect the player to do? You came out publicly, I came out publicly, why do you expect me to apologize? I think it should have been dealt with privately. If he was late to training, he wasn't performing, there is a different way to deal with it.
