Jadon Sancho has been in the news lately after a public spat with his Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag. Following the Red Devils' 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, Ten Hag had suggested that Sancho's performances weren't at the level required to merit a place in the matchday squad. In response, Sancho had put out a social media post claiming that he was being used as a 'scapegoat'.
However, after a meeting between the two, Sancho deleted the post on Tuesday. According to The Telegraph, the impasse between coach and player now centres on Ten Hag's demand that Sancho go public with his apology. Sancho is reportedly not willing to do so and believes he has been the victim of double standards.
Sancho is also maintaining that his performances and effort in training have been at the required levels and is disappointed that Ten Hag had gone public with his grievances in the first place, without giving him permission to reference his mental health struggles to the press.
Ten Hag, on the other hand, is said to feel 'badly let down' by Sancho's social media post. For now, Sancho is on a 'personal training programme' and is training at the academy facilities until further notice. It remains to be seen how this situation will resolve itself, but it seems clear that Sancho is refusing to back down.
