Louis Saha voices disappointment with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford over poor form and inconsistency at Manchester United.
Former Manchester United forward Louis Saha has publicly expressed his disappointment with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, calling out their lack of consistency and impact. Saha, who once led the Red Devils’ attack, believes both players have underperformed and failed to meet the expectations placed on them at the club.
Saha was particularly critical of Sancho, who returned from a loan spell at Chelsea. The England winger was brought in from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for a fee believed to be around £73 million. Despite the huge investment, Sancho has only managed 12 goals and six assists in 83 appearances for Manchester United. His loan to Chelsea last season ended in disappointment, with the Blues choosing to pay a £5 million penalty to cancel a purchase obligation.
The Frenchman commented that Sancho has the natural ability to perform at the highest level but struggles to deliver consistent performances. Saha stated that Sancho only shows quality in about one out of every three games and often looks like he is battling himself mentally on the pitch.
Saha also mentioned Marcus Rashford, who was expected to be one of United’s most reliable attacking players. Instead, the England international has faced criticism for poor form and questionable decision-making in crucial moments. Both Sancho and Rashford, alongside Garnacho, are now being linked with potential exits from Old Trafford as the club prepares for a summer of rebuilding.
Saha made these statements in an interview shared by Utd District, saying, "I’m upset with players like Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. Only once in every three games, Sancho shows up. He is not consistent. It’s like he’s playing against himself."
Manchester United fans have been vocal about their frustrations with the team’s recent performances, and Saha’s comments reflect the growing pressure on these players to deliver. The club is aiming for a strong resurgence, and current performances from key individuals may determine who stays and who moves on in the upcoming transfer window.
