Jadon Sancho's followers speculate that he may have criticized Manchester United's head coach, Erik ten Hag, in an Instagram post, following Borussia Dortmund's qualification for the Champions League final.

During Tuesday evening, the player who is currently on loan with the Red Devils was spotted rejoicing alongside his fellow team members in the dressing room and on the field at Parc des Princes. This was following Borussia Dortmund's triumph over Paris Saint-Germain with a 2-0 aggregate victory.

For the first time in 11 years, the Bundesliga team has made it to the main event of UEFA, which was sealed by Mats Hummels' goal, bringing victory to Edin Terzic's squad.

In January, Sancho went back to his old club on a loan after having a huge argument with his manager, Ten Hag. The fight started because Ten Hag seemed to be unhappy with the way Sancho worked during practice, saying he lacked enthusiasm.

The player from England later criticized his manager, accusing him of dishonesty on social media. This upset Ten Hag. Sancho did not express any regret, leading to increased tension between them. The manager then decided to isolate him and make him train alone. Eventually, United lent him to Dortmund.

The player playing on the wing has regained most of his skills ever since he came back to Dortmund. Online supporters have noticed that he might have been poking fun at Ten Hag by uploading a video of Drake talking to his critics on his Instagram story. He even added the caption 'LOL FACTS!' to it.

Jadon Sancho shared a clip of Drake addressing his critics along with the words 'LOL FACTS!' as the caption.

Members of the audience think that the video was a subtle dig at his ex-coach Erik ten Hag following their very visible disagreement.

What made it even more intriguing was the fact that the footage was initially shared on Dortmund's official Instagram profile.

In the video, we see Sancho rejoicing after his team's victory over PSG. A visual effect of Drake has been superimposed onto the image.

In the video, the hip-hop artist expresses: 'To all those who don't believe, those who don't strive for success, those who share their thoughts on social media only to delete them later, you all disgust me, my family.'

On Tuesday night, Dortmund's celebration in the locker room was led by Sancho, who was at the forefront. He was spotted standing on a table with a portable speaker, surrounded by his fellow players, dancing and singing along.

Several people used social media to assert that Sancho wouldn't come back to Man United, whereas some argued that the Instagram post transmitted a message directed at Ten Hag.

Sancho spearheaded the post-game festivities in the locker room following his pivotal contribution in propelling Dortmund to the final of the esteemed Champions League tournament.

Supporters are stating that the video was a direct attack on Ten Hag, as per one individual who wrote: 'That person is still taking jabs'.

One user stated on the platform X (previously called Twitter) that they believe in holding onto ETH. Another person chimed in with the words "To Ten Hag."

Another fan also commented about Ten Hag saying, "He's addressing you, you fool."

Someone else commented, "This person is still criticizing Manchester United and yet some fans want him to return. I hope Bayern Munich or Real Madrid completely shatter his dreams in the final."

There is still a lot of uncertainty regarding what Sancho will do next and if he'll come back to Man United during the summer.

Last week, Mail Sport disclosed that representatives from Man United, which included former sporting director John Murtough, had a discussion with Sancho when he was still playing for Dortmund regarding his potential permanent transfer from the team.

"One more supporter chimed in with a reference to the video, saying 'Haha, he won't return.'"

Ten Hag recognized Sancho's impressive comeback in German football and the Manchester United manager stated that this demonstrates his significant worth for the team.

Ten Hag suggested that Sancho may be transferred as he is deemed to hold significant worth for United.

Sancho talked to representatives from United while in Germany about leaving United for good.

This article also acknowledges that his contribution to pushing Dortmund towards the Champions League final will activate a number of substantial incentives in his loan agreement.

According to The Sun, Sancho, who was signed by United for a whopping £73million in 2021, has reportedly stated that he has no desire to return to the team. The same source alleges that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his administration may agree to a reduced sum of £35m from Dortmund to get rid of him from the club's records.
