Jose Mourinho has accused Erik ten Hag of failing to get the best out of Jadon Sancho at Manchester United.

Sancho, 24, has looked a different player since re-joining Borussia Dortmund on loan in January and will line up for Edin Terzic’s side against Real Madrid in the Champions League final at Wembley on Saturday night.




But the winger was frozen out at Old Trafford in the months leading up to his return to Germany following a bitter fallout with Ten Hag, who slammed the England star’s performances in training back in September.

Sancho was subsequently exiled from all first-team facilities after refusing to apologise for hitting back at Ten Hag on social media. And while the forward has divided opinions, Mourinho has told Ten Hag that he has take his share of the blame for how the situation with Sancho has panned out.

Speaking on TNT Sports ahead of the Champions League final, Mourinho said of Sancho: “As a player we know his talent. For sure the kid made mistakes. But for sure also his manager was not able to get the best out of him.

“I think in this case for sure they [Manchester United] look at it and try to analyse what happened at Man United and what he found at Dortmund.”

Mourinho has had his fair share of issues with players during his illustrious career but stressed that it is down to managers to learn from their mistakes. He added: “If I look to my own history sometimes I failed with players, I couldn’t create the right empathy and I couldn’t understand the player’s DNA, I couldn’t help players to grow in the right direction.
