Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho has reportedly been hesitant to apologize to manager Erik ten Hag for a specific reason, according to the club’s assistant coach Benni McCarthy. In an interview with a South African outlet, McCarthy revealed that Sancho believes apologizing would validate Ten Hag’s criticisms of him.
During his conversation with Radio 947, McCarthy expressed his concerns to the manager, emphasizing the delicate nature of the situation. He explained that Sancho fears that apologizing would label him as someone who lacks dedication and doesn’t put in the necessary effort, essentially confirming the accusations made against him.
McCarthy further elaborated on Sancho’s perspective, stating that individuals who come from humble backgrounds are often reluctant to apologize because it implies they are not training or working hard enough. Apologizing would essentially confirm all the negative assumptions made about them.
According to McCarthy, Sancho was unwilling to accept this outcome. However, Ten Hag simply requested an apology from the player, without any ulterior motives or intentions.
