Jadon Sancho faces an uncertain future at Man Utd after a disagreement with manager Erik ten Hag.
You don't have to go back far to a time when Jadon Sancho was paraded as somewhat of a bargain buy for Manchester United.
Except they hadn't really saved any money. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had made signing a new right winger his priority for the summer, but having missed out on the deal for Sancho, they had to take drastic action on deadline day.United had been keeping an eye on teenage duo Amad and Facundo Pellistri for a while and accelerated plans to sign them both amid the prospect of ending the window without reinforcing on the right.
It is still uncertain what the future holds for Sancho, who will be certain to want to tell his side of the story at some point, but right now it feels like the best solution for all parties would be for him to have a fresh start somewhere else. If it weren't for injuries, Amad would be the leading candidate to do so. He was excellent with Sunderland last season and deserves a chance, but he is currently sidelined and will need to get back up to match fitness before he is ready anyway.
Pellistri also offers something completely different. While the majority of wide men at the club adopt an inverted role, he is a more traditional winger with a direct approach, one who looks to race to the byline and put crosses into the box. His style of play could be perfect for summer signing Rasmus Hojlund, who will surely prosper from his delivery in the final third.
Pellistri has already spoken of how much he has learned from Bielsa, with the national team manager encouraging him to analyse his own game and focus on attacking movement without the ball and getting in behind defences.
