Maresca on Jadon Sancho: "No Risk Off the Pitch, He's Been Perfect Here"
In the midst of Jadon Sancho's ongoing situation with Manchester United and Erik ten Hag, Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has shared his thoughts on the player's time at Leicester. Speaking to *PA Sport*, Maresca made it clear that, as far as he’s concerned, Sancho has been nothing short of professional during his time with the club.
“I don’t consider Jadon Sancho a risk off the pitch,” Maresca stated, addressing any concerns about Sancho’s behavior or potential distractions since joining Leicester. “Whatever’s happened with Erik ten Hag… I have no idea.”
This comment highlights the ongoing mystery surrounding Sancho’s fall-out with the United manager. Sancho was notably sidelined by Ten Hag after a public disagreement earlier in the season, with tensions rising over Sancho’s form and work ethic. However, Maresca’s remarks suggest that whatever issues occurred at Old Trafford have not affected Sancho's conduct or commitment at Leicester.
### A Fresh Start at Leicester
Sancho's arrival at Leicester on loan has given him the opportunity to regain form and confidence, away from the spotlight at Manchester United. Maresca's positive assessment of the winger during his early weeks at the club will undoubtedly come as welcome news to both Leicester fans and Sancho himself, who is looking to get back to his best.
“He’s been perfect,” Maresca continued, emphasizing Sancho’s professionalism and attitude since joining Leicester. This bodes well for Sancho, who has had a rocky period at Manchester United but seems determined to make the most of his loan spell in the Premier League.
### The Ongoing Ten Hag Situation
While Maresca avoided commenting in-depth on Sancho’s issues with Ten Hag, it’s clear that the winger is aiming to leave those problems behind. The public spat with the United boss, where Sancho openly disputed Ten Hag’s claims about his training performances, created a significant rift. However, this clean slate at Leicester could help Sancho rebuild his career and re-establish himself as a top player in the league.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Sancho and his relationship with Manchester United, but Maresca’s words offer hope that the player is moving in the right direction. With consistent game time and a supportive environment, Sancho could regain the form that once made him one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
### Looking Ahead
For now, Sancho appears to be thriving under Maresca’s management at Leicester, and the manager’s praise will only boost the winger’s confidence. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how Sancho performs and whether he can truly leave his Old Trafford troubles behind.
With Leicester looking to push up the Premier League table, Sancho’s creativity and flair could prove vital to their campaign. If Maresca’s assessment is anything to go by, Jadon Sancho might just be on the path to rediscovering the form that made him a sensation at Borussia Dortmund.
