The 19-year-old winger has been in the spotlight this year following his rapid rise to prominence at Borussia Dortmund, but is now said to be ‘in trouble’ and ‘worried’. The England international reportedly became unhappy with life in Manchester after playing for their under 23s side.
United’s ‘Iniesta’ has been promoted to the first team this season, and is being tipped for a future World Cup call-up. However, former United defender Paul Robinson has warned Sancho could be in trouble with his manager if he does not get more minutes on the pitch.Jadon Sancho is in trouble, according to Paul Robinson. The Manchester United winger could be demoted from the first team squad following a dispute with his agent.
The “Jadon Sancho ‘in trouble’ and ‘worried’, claims Paul Robinson” is a story about the young player of Man Utd, Jadon Sancho. He has been in some sort of trouble with the club recently, but Paul Robinson believes that he is not worried about it.

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has outlined why Jadon Sancho would be ‘worried’ at Manchester United as he attempts to rekindle his Old Trafford career.
Since joining the Theatre of Dreams for £73 million from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, Sancho has generally disappointed.
In 11 appearances for Manchester United, the England international has failed to score or assist, and he has missed the club’s past two games.
Sancho was an unused substitute in Manchester United’s 5-0 loss to Liverpool two weeks ago, and he was again on Saturday when the Red Devils won 3-0 against Tottenham.
In the match against Spurs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer switched to a 3-5-2 shape, and Robinson believes Sancho will be ‘in danger’ if the Norwegian manager continues to play five at the back.
‘Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did a fantastic job against Spurs,’ the former goalkeeper said.
‘They took control of the middle.’ The issue is that Jadon Sancho does not belong in that system.

‘However, I don’t see Ole using that approach every week. They had evidently worked on a tactical switch-up over the week. They came up with a result and a performance by accident.
‘However, if they continue to use that method, Sancho will be in serious difficulty.’ What position would he take? If that’s the case, he won’t be playing very much.
‘I don’t believe Manchester United will use that method every week, but Sancho is probably frightened.’
Gary Neville, a Manchester United veteran, has expressed worry over Sancho, saying he may ‘end up like’ Donny van de Beek.
Following his £40 million transfer from Ajax in the summer of 2020, a lot was anticipated of Dutch international Van de Beek, but he has flattered to deceive and has rarely played under Solskjaer this season.
After United’s triumph against Spurs in north London, Neville stated, “I can’t help but think of Van de Beek.”
‘Whose name has been scribbled on him? Who’s paying for that £40 million spent on that child who’s been sitting in the stands for over 18 months and hasn’t kicked a football?
‘Sancho, if he isn’t cautious, will wind himself in the same situation.’
‘Not him, he’s been in some fairly bad performances in the previous few [weeks]… I’m referring to team performances.

‘He’s joined a team that seemed to be absolutely disorganized in terms of its play.’ At Dortmund, he was part of a far superior squad and unit.
‘He’s probably wondering to himself, ‘What the heck am I doing here?’ “What is this?” you may wonder.
‘There is no structure, no organization, and the defensive work rate is low.’
‘When you look at the defensive running metrics of Manchester United’s front men, he’s really the only guy who comes close… He was in the top 10 of the big four teams’ front players, and I believe he was fifth or sixth. So he’s genuinely made a change.

‘However, he must have sat on that seat today wondering, “What am I doing?” and is now wondering, “Where do I fit into that system?”
‘Because I don’t see him in a three-man midfield, and I don’t see him in a two-man attack, he’s probably wondering, “Where is my Manchester United career?”
‘Van de Beek is thinking the same thing.’ It’s been a terrific day so far, but it’s causing issues elsewhere.’
