MANCHESTER UNITED CONTRACT DECISION LOOMS AS JADON SANCHO POSTS PUZZLING UPDATE FROM ASTON VILLA

Jadon Sancho posts a puzzling message on Instagram as he struggles for minutes during his loan at Aston Villa.

Manchester United contract decision looms as Jadon Sancho posts puzzling update from Aston Villa
Jadon Sancho has played only 127 minutes in the league

Jadon Sancho, currently on loan to Aston Villa from Manchester United, hasn't been getting much playing time, and he took to social media with a puzzling post.

The 25-year-old winger doesn't post often, but when he does, it's a series of eleven photos and messages on his Instagram.

One message said, "You have to serve a purpose to be around me in my new season." It’s really personal.

Other messages included On a mission and distance. Silence. Peace.

Sancho is on loan with Aston Villa for the season, but he's barely seen any action in the league.

He hasn't started a single game for Unai Emery's squad, currently sitting high in the standings. His eight appearances off the bench total just 127 minutes.

Sancho has played more in the Europa League, starting four games.

Still, he hasn't scored or assisted for Villa yet and has a tough job getting into Emery's starting eleven, which is currently third in the league, only three points behind Arsenal.

Emery mentioned last week that Sancho needs to get his form back and hinted that he could still be important in the second half of the season.

Jadon is still young. He has had a great career, and right now, he needs some help to get back to his best.

I've taken on that challenge with him, and he's taken on that challenge with me.

Sure, he's not playing as much as perhaps he should, but in the second part of the season, I believe in him.

He's really pushing himself to try and be at his best for us this season.

He's facing that challenge with me, himself, and the club. I believe in him, and hopefully, we can make it happen.

Sancho's future is uncertain. His contract with Manchester United runs out at the end of the season.

Man United can extend Sancho's contract for another year, which might allow them to get some money back in a transfer.

Sancho was part of a group of players that Man United wanted to move on from during the summer transfer window, and his loan deal was completed on the last day.

This is the third season in a row Sancho has been out on loan after going back to Borussia Dortmund in the second half of the 2023-24 season and spending the 2024-25 season at Chelsea.

Sancho was part of the Chelsea team that won the Conference League, even scoring in the final, but the club chose to pay a £5m penalty instead of signing him permanently.

BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY

Tottenham Confirm Bruno Saltor as Assistant Coach Under Igor Tudor

Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.

Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.

Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.

If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.

Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.

Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.

GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW

Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.

Odds crash on Robbie Keane becoming the next Crystal Palace manager.

Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.

Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.

The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.

Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.

People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.

Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.

One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.

TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.

His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”

For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.

Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.

Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
