Jadon Sancho’s public outburst in response to his Arsenal exclusion has left Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag bewildered, according to reports. And the escalated situation hasn’t gone how Ten Hag envisaged when calling out Sancho’s poor training performances after Sunday’s defeat.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils boss was brutally honest when asked why Sancho was absent from the travelling squad at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n
And shortly after Ten Hag claimed his ‘levels’ weren’t up to United’s standards, the 23-year-old winger took to social media to fire back.<\/p>\n
Sancho believes he has been made a ‘scapegoat’ and questioned the Dutchman’s real reasoning for leaving him out of the 3-1 defeat.<\/p>\n
According to the Mirror, Ten Hag hoped his post-match comments would serve as motivation for Sancho to fight for his Old Trafford future.<\/p>\n
But he was left stunned by the United No 25’s attitude toward his challenge to improve, instead releasing the explosive statement that has stayed pinned on his X (formerly Twitter) account for almost a week.<\/p>\n
The report adds that Ten Hag wouldn’t have blocked Sancho’s exit if Saudi Pro League interest had gained traction before Thursday’s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
