Sancho keen to ‘start again afresh’ under Ten Hag at Utd
London:manchesterunitedwingerjadonsancho is looking forward to making a fresh start at Old Trafford when new boss Erik Ten Hag takes over.
The 22-year-old signed from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021 but has not made the impact many fans thought he would ater scoring just five goals and making three assists compared to his 36 goal involvements in Germany last season.
Ten Hag will take the reins at Old Trafford at the end of this campaign and the Dutchman has enjoyed a successful career so far by leading Ajax to three league titles, two Dutch Cups and a semifinal appearance in the Champions League, which saw them knocked out by Totenham in May 2019.
More recently, Sancho has been out of action for the Red Devils with tonsillitis, which could potentially bring his season to a premature end.
He told Premier League Productions: “To start again fresh, with a new manager coming in, we’re looking forward to seeing what his ideas and plans for the team are. You only have to think positively. My career is only geting started and, hopefully, it will take off soon.
Sancho admited this campaign has been a rather difficult one to endure as United will go without a trophy for the fith consecutive year.
He added: “This has been a difficult season, especially being a Manchester United player, with what the club has achieved over the years.

“United is known for winning trophies and being up there with the best. This season has been a difficult one for all of us, but I think we still have to show belief again.”
United have gone five years without winning a major trophy and will record their lowest points tally of the English Premier League era on the back of last weekend’s 4-0 thrashing at Brighton.
Ten Hag will take over at Old Trafford on a three-year deal this summer, with Ralf Rangnick’s underwhelming interim stint coming to a close in the May 22 season finale at Crystal Palace.
