Sancho Could Start Season As striker – Ten Hag

Erik ten Hag has suggested that Jadon Sancho could start the season as Manchester United’s central striker to fill in for the injured Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund is set to miss six weeks with a hamstring injury suffered during the first game of the U.S. tour against Arsenal. In his absence, Sancho, brought back into the squad following a 10-month exile, was deployed as the No. 9 in Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over Real Betis and Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. And Ten Hag says he could start at centre-forward against Manchester City next week in the Community Shield, and against Fulham on the opening weekend of the Premier League season ahead of new signing Joshua Zirkzee.

“Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t play with him there,” said Ten Hag when asked whether Sancho could start up front against City at Wembley.

“That is what we can do if we don’t have the availability of Rasmus, but of course, Joshua Zirkzee, he is coming in, he has started training, but also consider that he is not so long in training, so that will take time, and he has to adapt to English football and our way of playing as well.

“There is also, of course, Jadon, as a striker. We know he can play in wide areas, but also as a false striker, he’s an option.”

Zirkzee, a £36.5 million signing from Bologna, is yet to train with the squad after returning to Carrington after his summer break rather than join the American tour.

Sancho, back at United after spending the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has not scored a competitive goal for the club since May 2023.

Marcus Rashford is another option to fill the void left by Hojlund, but Ten Hag hinted the England forward will stay in his usual role on the left.

“I think that Marcus has done it [played as a striker] before and he can do it, and it’s definitely an option,” said Ten Hag.
