Manchester United have officially confirmed that Jadon Sancho will be training away from the main first-team group until further notice. The 23-year-old landed in hot water before the international break when he accused Erik ten Hag of lying over the reasons for his absence from the United squad that faced Arsenal.
Ten Hag explained that Sancho was fully fit to play against the Gunners but was omitted due to his displays in training, a claim that was strongly refuted by the player himself on social media. The post, which has since been deleted by Sancho, was said to have infuriated Ten Hag and United have responded by axing the winger from regular first-team training.
A brief club statement released on Thursday reads: “Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.”
