United fans slams Jadon Sancho after what happened between Madueke and Pochettino
Noni Madueke has been on the fringes this season – mostly due to injury and partly that he was being benched by Mauricio Pochettino when available.
Earlier this month, Pochettino slammed Madueke for not playing at a top level in training, telling the young winger to prove himself in training if he wants to get into the team.
Pochettino said: “Noni is in a position where there’s massive competition, too many players… he needs to compete and raise his level.
“The competition here is serious. We need top level in training to play on regular basis.”
Madueke has now forced himself into Pochettino’s plans, with a top display in the last two games, scoring two goals.
Manchester United fans have likened Madueke’s situation to that of Jadon Sancho, who has long been banished from the team.
Erik ten Hag accused Sancho of not performing well in training – a comment that angered the young winger.

Poch criticised him for not training at top level, but he kept quiet, worked harder, got into the team, and now has 2 goals in less than 90 minutes.
That's how you prove the manager wrong and show the fans you care about the club. https://t.co/FyvoUTh2FZ
