The former Manchester United captain, known for his uncompromising standards, turned his sights on the winger after a lackluster cameo as a second-half substitute. Speaking in the post-match analysis, Keane suggested that Sancho\u2019s time at the top level is effectively over if he cannot find the drive to influence games, claiming the player has &#8220;cost&#8221; Villa points throughout a stuttering campaign.<br>\u200bKeane\u2019s frustration centered on Sancho\u2019s perceived lack of urgency and failure to meet the physical and tactical demands of Unai Emery\u2019s system. &#8220;I\u2019ve seen enough of him this season to know he\u2019s never going to play to the standard required for a club with Champions League ambitions,&#8221; Keane fumed. &#8220;He comes on the pitch, he\u2019s tidy, he passes it sideways, but where is the spark? Where is the courage to take a man on?&#8221; The pundit\u2019s critique grew even more personal as he urged the club to cut ties with the former England international in the upcoming transfer window, stating that he needs to be &#8220;sold and forgotten&#8221; to allow the squad to progress without the baggage of underperforming high-earners.<br>\u200bThe defeat to Fulham has left Villa\u2019s European hopes hanging by a thread, and for Keane, Sancho embodies the inconsistency that has plagued their season. He argued that while Emery has improved almost every other player in the squad, Sancho remains the &#8220;one passenger&#8221; the team cannot afford to carry. The Irishman dismissed any excuses regarding fitness or confidence, bluntly concluding that the winger simply doesn\u2019t have the &#8220;DNA&#8221; of a winner. As the season nears its conclusion, Keane\u2019s explosive comments have added significant pressure on the Villa board to make a ruthless decision regarding Sancho\u2019s future at Villa Park.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roy Keane has pulled no punches in a scathing assessment of Jadon Sancho following Aston Villa\u2019s disappointing 1-0&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-37","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-aston-villa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions\/38"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
