Ben Foster insists Jadon Sancho would never have been allowed to play for Manchester United again under Sir Alex Ferguson, following his social media tirade.
Sancho hit back at claims from Erik ten Hag that he had been dropped from the squad against Arsenal due to his performances in training, stating that he had been made a ‘scapegoat’.
Ten Hag is expected to hold clear-the-air talks with Sancho following the public disagreement.
Former United keeper Foster though says Sancho’s comments would not have been allowed to stand if Ferguson was still in charge at Old Trafford.
He told The United Stand: ‘If Alex Ferguson is manager at this moment in time of Manchester United, and Jadon Sancho does this, he will never see the light of day again for Man United.

‘He’ll never play for this club, he’ll never be allowed in the training ground, you are done mate.’
The recently retired keeper added: ‘I understand when (former) players say they would do the same thing that’s fantastic, you are allowed to do that if you want to but it’s not going to help you.
‘It’s petulant, it’s reactive it’s emotional, it’s disrespectful, it just becomes a massive storm of news.
‘Everyone wants to know, what’s up with Sancho? What’s up with Ten Hag? Has he lost the dressing room? What were Sancho’s training sessions like this week?
‘Sancho says he’s applied himself very well in training, that’s fantastic you should be applying yourself very well, that’s the minimum.’
Ferguson famously fell out with a number of players at Old Trafford, with the likes of Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, David Beckham and Jaap Stam all leaving the club not long after disagreements with the boss.
The 23-year-old came off the bench in United’s first three games of the season, only to be omitted altogether during the Red Devils’ 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.
After Ten Hag claimed Sancho had been dropped due to his training levels, Sancho fired back on Sunday night: ‘Please don’t believe everything you read!

Sancho in his online post also claimed that he had been made a ‘scapegoat’
‘I will not allow people to say things that are 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!
‘All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to the team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and I am grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!’
Sancho joined United for £73m in the summer of 2021 and has scored 12 goals in 82 appearances for the Red Devils.
