Erik ten Hag must listen to Ralf Rangnick's advice on Jadon Sancho
Erik ten Hag might do well to listen to Ralf Rangnick's warning on United's Jadon Sancho.
Ten Hag has joined United on a three-year contract with the option of an additional year. The Dutchman will be faced with inspiring improvement out of the squad he's inherited and that includes Sancho, who is yet to find consistency at United.

Sancho joined United for £73million in the summer, but he failed to hit the ground running following his return to Manchester. Sancho has contributed five goals and three assists from 38 appearances for United last season, looking a shadow of the player who set the Bundesliga alight.
United have the perfect plan for Cristiano Ronaldo next season
The last time Cristiano Ronaldo played in the Europa League it was still called the UEFA Cup and nobody outside of Portugal had yet heard of Jose Mourinho — or Ronaldo, for that matter.
The then 17-year-old's sojourn into Europe's B-list competition lasted two games and an aggregate defeat to Partizan Belgrade in September 2002. That year's competition would be won by Mourinho's Porto, beating Celtic in the final, and almost 20 years on Ronaldo has never lowered himself to those standards again.
A month earlier Ronaldo had made his Champions League debut against Inter Milan, with Sporting losing that tie as well, which is why they dropped into the UEFA Cup. On August 14, 2002, Ronaldo was up against Javier Zanetti and Christian Vieri and neither had yet turned 30.
Alejandro Garnacho and Shola Shoretire send messages to Manchester United teammate after exit
Alejandro Garnacho and Shola Shoretire were among the United youngsters to bid farewell to Martin Svidersky as the youngster confirmed his departure from the club.
Slovakia Under-21 international Svidersky will leave United this summer when his contract expires at the end of the month. His departure brings an end to his four-year spell at Old Trafford, having signed for the club in 2018.
Svidersky had reportedly attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Celtic before joining United. His time with the club didn’t get off to the best of starts, though, as he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury before bouncing back in the 2020/21 season.
