Ex-Man Utd star Gary Pallister urges Erik ten Hag and Jadon Sancho to make peace

Manchester United legend Gary Pallister has urged Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag to make peace.

United manager Ten Hag has axed the club's £73million wonderkid indefinitely and has stated he does not know if the 23-year-old will play for him again.

Pallister also speaks from a position of strength after nearly a decade at the heart of Alex Ferguson's side that dominated English football for 20 years.

He has remained close to the club in retirement and now, speaking with 888sport, he hopes the warring pair can settle their differences.

'The war of words we would have would probably be had behind closed doors (when I was a player) and wasn't there in public,' Pallister added.

'Erik felt he needed to go public with the reasons why he left Sancho out and I think that's probably a reaction from Jadon to come back fighting.

'It has been a difficult period for the club. Ten Hag has come in, he's been very disciplined by the looks of it, behind the scenes.

'We've seen it in bits and starts here at United but not enough. He's still got a lot to prove in a United shirt I would think.
