In a scathing critique, Bayern Munich icon Mario Basler has labeled Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho a “troublemaker,” asserting that the Bundesliga champions would never entertain the idea of signing him. Basler, famed for his historic goal against Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final, cited Sancho’s discordant personality as the primary deterrent.
Sancho’s predicament at Old Trafford persists, with manager Erik ten Hag steadfast in his decision to keep the English international in exile until he tenders an apology. Reports suggest that Sancho’s punctuality issues and missed training sessions have compounded his woes.
Basler, emphasizing Bayern’s stringent criteria for player acquisitions, remarked, “Sancho may be a good footballer, but Bayern would not sign him because he’s not what they look for in a person. Sancho was already a troublemaker in Dortmund. His attitude is a problem and he has to change it.”
As the January transfer window looms, potential exits for Sancho are emerging. Barcelona is reportedly considering a swap deal with Raphinha, while Borussia Dortmund eyes a return for Sancho, proposing Donyell Malen as a makeweight. The 23-year-old, left out in the cold since August, is evidently seeking a fresh challenge to revive his career.
