Last weekend, Erik ten Hag decided to leave Jadon Sancho out of the Manchester United squad for the match against Arsenal. According to the coach, this decision was entirely based on the winger's performance in training, after which Sancho decided to vent his frustrations on Instagram, saying, 'I will not allow people to say things that are completely untrue.'
"In any case, I will continue to fight for this club," Sancho concluded his statement on social media on Sunday evening. The forward believes that he was unjustly excluded from the squad by Ten Hag, who has been working closely with Sancho since his arrival. The head coach saw the winger as a crucial asset for his team and feels particularly let down by the English international's comments on social media.
After Sancho faced personal problems last season, the 23-year-old forward was granted indefinite leave by Ten Hag to recover. Sancho was given an individual training program and was spotted training at OJC Rosmalen's field in the Netherlands at the time. Sources now also report to ESPN that Ten Hag is hurt by Sancho's comments, and it appears that Sancho has no regrets about his Instagram post.
Sancho's action has not only upset Ten Hag, but the squad has also turned against the forward. The fact that the action has garnered little sympathy indicates that the squad still supports Ten Hag. Sancho will have to work hard to regain the trust of both the coaching staff and the squad.
