He did not play for United for more than three months.<\/p>\n<p>After Sancho was re-integrated into the squad at the end of January, it was seen as a victory for Ten Hag&#8217;s man-management and pastoral care.<\/p>\n<p>When the Dutchman had reason to question Sancho&#8217;s effort and attitude again ahead of Sunday&#8217;s defeat at Arsenal, however, the response was less compassionate and rather more combustible.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag said Sancho had been left in Manchester due to his performance in training. The 23-year-old reacted furiously on social media, effectively accusing his manager of lying and making him a scapegoat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/22\/75055771-12480077-image-a-1_1693862167666.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jadon Sancho is the talk of the town at the moment after his social media outburst on Sunday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/20\/75053273-0-image-a-17_1693856176278.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sancho has struggled to reach his potential at Manchester United after his move to Old Trafford three years ago<\/p>\n<p>The fall-out has plunged Sancho&#8217;s future at Old Trafford into doubt at the end of a summer in which United were prepared to listen to offers of \u00a345million for him.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the transfer window is only open in a handful of countries may mean that he has to stay for now, but for how much longer?<\/p>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo was kicked out of the club for publicly challenging Ten Hag , and Sancho is a significantly softer target.<\/p>\n<p>Whether that happens remains to be seen but the issue has once again dredged up the disciplinary problems and personal issues that have hung over the gifted winger throughout his career like a bad smell.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that Chelsea considered signing Sancho this summer but were concerned about his mindset and went for Manchester City&#8217;s Cole Palmer instead.<\/p>\n<p>Gareth Southgate continues to give Sancho a wide berth, and his name was well away from the conversation when the England manager named his squad for the upcoming Euro qualifier against Ukraine and friendly against Scotland.<\/p>\n<p><span>Mail Sport <\/span>understands Southgate and his coaching staff have spoken about the problem of Sancho sulking when he is not selected in the line-up and the negative impact it can have on the atmosphere in camp.<\/p>\n<p>The issue dates back to Euro 2020 when he is said to have reacted petulantly to being left out of the squad for the opening group game against Croatia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/22\/75053275-12480077-United_boss_Erik_ten_Hag_left_has_blasted_Sancho_right_for_his_p-a-3_1693864317912.jpg\" height=\"497\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>United boss Erik ten Hag (left) has blasted Sancho (right) for his performance levels<\/p>\n<p>He started another five matches on the bench at the tournament because Southgate felt that Sancho&#8217;s training levels were not up to scratch, the same issue now raised by Ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p>His only call-up since then was in an experimental side for a World Cup qualifier against Andorra two years ago when Sancho was late for a team meeting and subsequently missed out on a place in Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>Time-keeping has become a perennial problem for one of English football&#8217;s hottest properties.<\/p>\n<p>Sancho was voted player of the tournament when England Under 17s finished runners-up in the 2017 European Championship, and had already joined Borussia Dortmund for \u00a38million after rejecting a new contract offer from Manchester City by the time England won the Under 17 World Cup later that year.<\/p>\n<p>A few months on, Sancho and his former City team-mate Phil Foden were dropped from the England Under 19s side against Latvia after turning up late for a team meeting.<\/p>\n<p>It was a recurring issue at Dortmund where manager Lucien Favre punished him on several occasions and dropped him for games against Barcelona and Borussia Monchengladbach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sancho was also fined by the German FA for breaking lockdown rules in order to get a haircut.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He just has to be smarter and grow up with things like that.

Sadly, he has hit a dead end at United far too often.<\/p>\n<p>Think of a highlight reel of Sancho&#8217;s Old Trafford career so far and they are few and far between. A total of 12 goals and six assists from 82 games is a poor return on United&#8217;s investment.<\/p>\n<p>He impressed on tour last summer following Ten Hag&#8217;s arrival before starting the season well, and then did a decent job as a false nine during this pre-season.
