Solskjaer: Sancho went on holiday before joining Manchester United, then suffered an ear infection and was hospitalized

6686 Sports News on November 13. In an interview with Stick to Football, former Manchester United coach Solskjaer recalled the situation when Sancho first joined Manchester United, and also revealed a previously undisclosed detail.

"He was our best option at the time. We wanted players who could break through the opponent's defense in the attacking third. Sancho's skills, his link-up ability, could provide something different. But unfortunately, he went on vacation before arriving, and then he got an ear infection and had to be hospitalized."

"He really struggled in the first ten days of pre-season training, before he could start training with us. He had a lot of difficulties in the early days of joining, which were not known to the outside world."

"I left before he could get back into competitive shape, so we never really worked together."
