Man Utd players' feelings towards Jadon Sancho after latest Erik ten Hag spat<\/h3>\n

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag faces a tough task to keep Jadon Sancho at Old Trafford after dropping the winger for Sunday\u2019s clash at Arsenal and calling him out for his performances in training. And the extent of the challenge is clear to see, with\u00a0Pep Guardiola failing to convince Sancho to stay at the Etihad Stadium just one year after taking to the helm at Manchester City.<\/p>\n

United signed Sancho in 2021 after shelling out a prodigious \u00a373million to prise the player away from Borussia Dortmund. But he has flopped at Old Trafford, returning just 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Sancho was named on the bench for United\u2019s first three matches of the season and made it onto the pitch in all of them. But his name was absent from the team sheet on Sunday as United travelled to the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

And Ten Hag explained his decision to overlook the England international in the aftermath of the contest. \u201cJadon, on his performances in training we did not select him,\u201d the Dutchman said. \u201cYou have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sancho was unwilling to accept Ten Hag\u2019s assessment and hit back on X by posting: \u201cPlease don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is (sic) completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, l’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 my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and (am) grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!\u201d<\/p>\n

United don\u2019t have any intentions of cutting their ties with Sancho, according to reports. But if the player views Ten Hag\u2019s words as a betrayal, he may decide to push for a move away from the north west as soon as he can. And the 23-year-old has already shown in the past that when his mind is made up, it can\u2019t be changed.<\/p>\n

Sancho came through the Manchester City academy after joining the club from Watford. But before he had even made a first-team appearance for the Citizens, he opted to join Borussia Dortmund in 2017. And even the great Guardiola was powerless to alter the player\u2019s career path.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know, he didn’t want to take this challenge, this opportunity to discover if he was able to,\u201d the Spaniard explained in 2019 as he spoke about Sancho\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe decided to go there. So, it’s perfect. It’s going well and congratulations on what he is doing. He is doing an incredible performance. He did it incredibly well this season. What would have happened this season [at City]? I don’t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
