EPL: Ten Hag satisfied with Sancho’s No10 position at Man Utd
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was happy with Jadon Sancho at No10 for Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Southampton.
Sancho started there for Ten Hag’s side, although he also featured at times on the left or the right wing, depending on where the Reds were attacking from.
It was the latest in a series of positive displays since he made his long-awaited return to action on 1 February, against Nottingham Forest.

”I think he did quite well as a number ten,” said the manager.
“Like he did against Barcelona and Leicester. He was really decisive against Leicester and also today with some really good actions. One time, he was really close to the goal with a run at the defending line and a cross to Bruno almost came there. He did a good job.”
In a follow-up question, Ten Hag was asked if Sancho has improved the physical aspect of his game and what kind of impact he can have.
”I think he can, I think he can make the difference when we play three against two in the midfield. And that is not bad when you have Casemiro and Bruno and you have Jadon Sancho.”
