Disagreeing with your manager about what best to do on the pitch and how much effort you're putting in only really works if you're consistently playing well. Sancho has never looked anything above average in a united shirt, under 3 managers. If you want to go against what the manager wants you have to be a proven top player with good will in the bank. Sancho doesn't.
Perhaps I misread but there’s nothing that says he disagrees with what the manager thinks is best to do. The manager wasn’t picking him for a game so expected him to mimic a teams style in a practice session, the disagreement is whether or not he pressed enough in that session which they couldn’t agree on even watching a video back.
Can’t say (unless you see the video) who was right, but if you watch a video and disagree still then it’s unlikely you’ll back down. Especially with the point being Sancho thought other people were worse in training and didn’t face the same treatment.
The real failing is on United all round, can’t see any individual part that shouldn’t have done better.
Now they’re stuck with a player who the manager won’t play until he gets an apology that isn’t coming, on wages he’s never justified even without the bonuses and they’re unlikely to get rid without paying something themselves. Though judging by how they tried to handle the Greenwood incident, there’s no expectation for them handling issues with competency.
