Jadon Sancho may have taken a thinly-veiled swipe at Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag after the winger reached the Champions League final on loan at Borussia Dortmund . The pair publicly fell out at the beginning of the season, with the 24-year-old banished from the first team before spending the second half of the campaign back in Germany. Having failed to impress at Old Trafford three years on from his £72million move from Dortmund, Sancho has dispelled plenty of criticism during the Bundesliga club’s European run. He was one of the standout players across both semi-final legs against Paris Saint-Germain and will hope to make his mark once again in the final next month against either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. His situation has created an interesting juxtaposition after his parent club recently dropped to eighth in the Premier League table after a 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace, lacking the necessary attacking impetus that Sancho has provided for Dortmund after being cast aside by Ten Hag.
