Former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel has blasted Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag for throwing Jadon Sancho under the bus as both figures are yet to settle their ongoing feud.
It was stated yesterday that United will try to move Sancho in January if he refuses to retract his comments to Ten Hag. After being left out of the matchday squad against Arsenal.
This comes after the England international was prohibited from using any first-team facilities at Carrington after complaining online that he was being used as a “scapegoat.”
According to The Mail, Mikel, a 36-year-old former Premier League midfielder, has now asserted that Sir Alex Ferguson would never have handled this kind of circumstance in the same way.
‘Everybody is going about Sancho not apologising, I have a different view on that. My view is that the manager shouldn’t have said what he said in public,’ he told The Obi One podcast.
‘I wouldn’t come out publicly. When you listen to the ex-United players they’ve all said one thing.
“When things like this happen before during [Sir Alex] Ferguson, it was dealt with inside the dressing room, he handled it.
‘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’s it. You cannot come out publicly and criticise a player and say he wasn’t training really well.’
