Jadon Sancho has sent a parting message to former Manchester United teammate Mason Greenwood. The Carrington academy graduate completed his move to Marseille earlier this week after spending last season out on loan at Grenada and is the biggest sale for Erik ten Hag so far this summer.

The club are expected to look for more exits across the board though in order to fund an ambitious summer window under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos, and the new sporting structure.
Victor Lindelof is one who may well depart whilst Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, and Marcus Rashford (among others) have also been linked with an exit. Sancho, who spent the second half of last season at Borussia Dortmund, had been expected to be one of those on their way out.
However, having returned to Manchester for pre-season training, the Englishman has been offered a route back into the side. Speaking in the second week of preparations ahead of the tour to America, Ten Hag opened up on his new stance.
“As we said, we draw the line,” the boss said. ” Manchester United
need good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line and we move on.”
The pair had fallen out at the start of last season after Ten Hag publicly criticised Sancho’s efforts in training, to which the former Manchester City
academy man hit back online. The relationship appeared to have been broken but now Sancho has a way in, unlike Greenwood, who the club explained “it would be most appropriate for him” to move on from Old Trafford
.
Writing on social media after being announced as a Marseille player, Greenwood wrote
: “Really excited for this new chapter. Allez l’OM! [blue heart emoji]”. Wishing him well, Sancho responded simply with a single raised hands emoji.
Other previous teammates, Angel Gomes, Anthony Elanga, and Shola Shoretire all sent him positive messages too. Greenwood and Sancho played 14 times together for United, all in the 2021/22 season..READ FULL ARTICLE
