Joe Cole hands Man United advice on how to take Jadon Sancho from exile to excellence… as he warns 'it's not going to work out for him' without 'movement from both parties'

Joe Cole believes Jadon Sancho needs ‘nurturing’ and thinks his outcast status at Manchester United can only be resolved with compromise from both sides.

The former England star said he would ‘love to speak’ with the banished winger and his representatives to offer guidance.

Sancho has been training alone at the academy after Erik ten Hag exiled him for publicly branding him a liar on social media in September.

He has reportedly been kicked out of the squad’s WhatsApp group in the latest turning of the screw, with little hope of reparation unless he apologises.
