Erik ten Hag aims thinly-veiled dig at Jadon Sancho as he claims Man United will only succeed with 'hungry' players after letting £73m winger return to Borussia Dortmund on loan

Erik ten Hag says Manchester United will only succeed with 'hungry players' after letting Jadon Sancho leave little more than a year after Cristiano Ronaldo's high-profile departure.

The Dutch coach was brought in 19 months ago to change things on and off the pitch at Old Trafford, where he has had to deal with a fair share of distractions.

Unhappy star Ronaldo's second spell at United ended in acrimonious fashion in November 2022 and another big name has left midway through a Ten Hag season in charge of the Premier League giants.
