Jadon Sancho not apologizing to Erik Ten Hag
The Manchester club said in a statement that he will be training separately from the main group. This is due to a result of his refusal, they had taken disciplinary action.
The short statement released by the club read, “Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.”
Jadon Sancho’s manager attributed his exclusion from United’s travelling team for the 3-1 loss at the Emirates on “performances in training.”
Ten Hag said, “We did not select Jadon because of his performances in training. You have to reach a certain level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected.”
Jadon Sancho though is not one to sit back and hold his thoughts. The English winger quickly put out a statement against his Dutch coach.
Sancho’s statement
In his statement, Jadon Sancho said, ‘I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair.’
He continued, ‘All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what.’
Sancho’s social media post remains pinned to the top of his X profile. That is until now, as Sancho has since deleted the post from his social accounts.

Borussia Dortmund is eager to re-sign the star if United are prepared to consider offers, according to the Sun. His future at Old Trafford is seriously in question.
Dortmund sought to bring Sancho back to the club in January, but United quickly rejected their loan offer. If negotiations with Ten Hag don’t end the current dispute, Dortmund will try again. Club executives are keeping an eye on the issue. They are prepared to provide United a loan in exchange for them continuing to pay a substantial portion of his salary.
