Oh yes, he has been trouble with a capital T.

How so? Afaik he didn't want to be a glorified training dummy for ETH ahead of the Arsenal game and then refused to back down. He's been pigheaded, but young men often are.

Unless you know something else?
 
A few journalists have said he’s trouble. Most of them with a job or position that requires them to avoid upsetting them wherever possible in order to maintain access. So if ten Hag or someone at the club is briefing that he’s a problem then that’s what gets reported.

I’ve read that Sancho was upset that his personal issues - i.e. his possible mental health problems, his personal and/or sensitive information - was made public by both ten Hag and some of those working directly above him. And I can’t say I blame him tbh.

Very true about seeing the nuance in what gets reported as “journalism” in sport, got to think about who it benefits and who is saying it.

If you look at what Ten Hag did/said at the time when Sancho took a few months off though, I thought he handled it well and with sensitivity. There was no mention of any problems that Sancho might be having, it was painted as a kind of training break.

He only threw Sancho under the bus when he started undermining the manager on Instagram. I’m also more inclined to back Ten Hag’s interpretation of the truth when you hear the reports coming out of Dortmund that he was always late, unprofessional, people like Matic saying him and Pogba were late every day, and frankly his performance and shape, which has been dire and has looked unfit from day 1.
