Oh, people still think this way about depression in 2022. I’d trust that the professionals know about a bit more than you on how to handle this situation.
Sancho won’t return to Man Utd until he's ready - Way too much inappropriate speculation.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Once again, you’ve no idea how depression works, but even further, what exactly do you know about Sancho’s life outside of his nice wages? Does he have a good relationship with his parents? Does he have friends? Do his coworkers like him and speak to him outside of work? Maybe he’s a bit weird and nobody really likes talking to him so he feels extremely alone? Maybe he gets 100s of abusive messages about not being good enough at his job on the daily and it’s taking a toll? Maybe he suffers from severe insomnia which could ruin both his physical and mental health? Really, you have absolutely ZERO idea what his life is like. There’s a lot of things you’re taking for granted which money can’t buy.
Well said
Agree 100% as I mentioned before I am actually diagnosed with bipolar disorder but it's very difficult for anyone to tell, the medication fortunately isn't of the sort that zonks you out, but I've experienced it while paid a lot (OK, not football wages!) and only benefits having lost everything and it's just... different.
It's hard to explain. But you can't just snap out of it, it can be dangerous in fact if people are expected to get themselves out of something that's very likely genetic.
I feel being sent to Netherlands in the winter is a sign it's not a medical issue, it may be a positive thinking / play the right ball with some intensive fitness thrown in. But I look forward to seeing him back!
Hate hearing about young people struggling with their mental health, so hopefully he gets the kind of help he needs.
We really need him back soon to offer competition to Antony.
Well, I never had any worries, ever, about bills, or rent or mortgage and I still had anxiety disorder and panic attacks.
Money does make life easier but does not solve all the problems.
I trust ETH in this matter and I'm sure that's the best decision for the player and club.
"I get depression comes in all forms and can affect anyone but at the same time I don't understand how it comes in all forms and can affect anyone..."
After the match last night when ETH was going through our attacking options in the squad he talked about the starting players from last night and also said Elanga and Garnacho will play parts as the season goes on , he never even mentioned Sancho as a possibility.
He does not sound as if he is in his short or even medium term plans.
This thread has been quite something.
Fine, he certainly is in a priviliged position, and yes maybe be doesn't need your sympathy. But depression and anxiety can hit anyone and isn't exclusive to those who have it harder.
Guys what is all this serious discussions about depression and mental health coming from? Did Ten Hag or anyone else within the club say Sancho is suffering from this? I think this is one comment by Ten Hag that has been taken massively out of context.
None of us know in detail what his deal is.

Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut.
It looks like a conference of lads that haven't got a clue.
It's like the twilight zone, with people logging on from the 1950s.
So true
Extraordinary leaps being made alright. Then amazingly bad takes made on those imaginary leaps. It's fiction at this point, loosely based on real characters.
ETH has improved Shaw, Dalot, Rashford, Martial and now working on AWB, Fred, DVB while also helping players like Malacia, Casemiro, Antony, Martinez integrate to EPL.
He knows what he is doing and the results are clear for us to see. The fact that he is paying special attention on Sancho means that he has high hope on him. We must be patient and support both our manager decision and also the player.

Just send him to do some good honest mine work for a few days.
Not at all. Ten Hag said he's on a physical fitness programme and everyone went off on a tangent because he also mentioned the word 'mentally' when discussing his loss of form.
The funny thing about this is that in 50s, those lads would spouting this nonsense while being in the process of downing a bottle of liquor. How many of these tough lads needed alcohol to numb their minds?
Are you saying they're drunk, not stupid?
To be fair it's possible.
You need to stop. You’re absolutely clueless and your ‘snap out of it’ and ‘it’s not so bad cos he’s rich’ rhetoric is offensive. Just accept you don’t understand - and be thankful for that.
I can't believe the club has let it get to this point without trying the tried and trusted method of just saying "Cheer up Jadon, worse things happen at sea!"

This is one ignorant and simply backward post.
I think this issue has been taken way out of context, Ten Hag mentioned he's building back his fitness and mentality...a couple of pages later he's on depression?
We have absolutely no idea about this, why has it suddenly evolved to that?

Probably confidence breakdown because he didn't make it to the world cup.
Hes a bit silly if he expected to be in the squad.
Probably could've offered more than Maddison
Or Mason Mount or Sterling.
No he couldn't. He's also a different position.
Also no, and no. Different position, and no
That's what I said. He thought he was that next big thing, the limelight and all the promises.
He failed to perform before the world cup call up, probably really took him back to reality.
Or maybe he doesn't want to add any undue pressure to Sancho.
Which is why taking Madders was odd, they were stacked in that position. Mount Foden Saka Grealish and even Bellingham can play there.
I would want to think hes not so mentally fragile
No it wasnt. Saka grealish play in Sancho position. Mount, Maddison were alternatives to Bellingham.
Sancho doesn't come into consideration ahead of Grealish Saka Foden Rashford or Sterling.
I wouldn't think he has weak mentality.
But maybe, just maybe he talked to ETH, found the root of the problem and vowed to be better physically. So the individual programme.
