Jadon Sancho has deleted the social media statement that claimed he had been made a scapegoat at Manchester United.<\/p>\n
In a move which has been welcomed at Old Trafford and considered a step towards repairing relations with United manager Erik ten Hag, Sancho removed the incendiary post which appeared after United\u2019s 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on September 3.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag had explained that Sancho\u2019s absence from the squad that day was due to his \u2018performances in training\u2019.<\/p>\n
That prompted an angry response from the winger, whose statement read: \u2018I have conducted myself in training very well this week\u2019 and \u2018I\u2019ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn\u2019t fair!\u2019<\/p>\n
The statement had remained pinned to the top of Sancho\u2019s X account until Tuesday evening. But it has now been deleted after Sancho met Ten Hag this week to discuss their differences.<\/p>\n

As Mail Sport revealed, United are weighing up a move for Netherlands winger Anwar El Ghazi \u2014 who is a free agent \u2014 amid the uncertainty around Sancho and Antony, who is facing assault claims in Brazil.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Sancho was seen for the first time since he clashed with Erik ten Hag after attending an NBA star’s birthday party in New York.<\/p>\n
Sancho is facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford after being dropped by the Dutch coach over his ‘training performance’ for their 3-1 loss to Arsenal last time out – with the England international hitting back and claiming he was being made ‘a scapegoat’.<\/p>\n
Despite being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, Sancho ended up staying at Old Trafford – meaning he will have to fight harder for his place or be satisfied with a substitute role – but for now he has been taking time away during the international break.<\/p>\n
Sancho was pictured enjoying a party in the United States during celebrations for Aaron Wall’s birthday, with fellow United team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka also making the trip to see the former Los Angeles Clippers star.<\/p>\n
The picture showed Sancho wearing a navy T-shirt with a chain around his neck and black trousers and white trainers.<\/p>\n
Wan-Bissaka was seen to his left, with the full-back wearing a burgandy T-shirt and camoflauge trousers during the party in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n
The pair will be expected back at Carrington this week ahead of United’s next game on Saturday at home to Brighton.<\/p>\n
Sancho will hope to be involved in the matchday squad despite being left out entirely against Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag gave a blunt response when asked why Sancho had not been chosen in his squad against the Gunners, saying: ‘Jadon, on his performances in training we did not select him.<\/p>\n
‘You 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.’<\/p>\n
Sancho immediately sought to clarify his comments, claiming they were ‘completely untrue’<\/p>\n
‘Please 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
‘I 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.<\/p>\n
‘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.<\/p>\n
‘I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!’<\/p>\n

Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq made a move to sign the winger but a loan was ruled out by Manchester United as Mail Sport exclusively revealed that the Saudi Pro League side refused to meet Sancho’s asking price .<\/p>\n
His former club Borussia Dortmund has also been mooted as a possible destination in January after the Germans reportedly lined up a shock loan move – two years since he left for Old Trafford in a \u00a373million deal.<\/p>\n
Sancho is yet to make a start for United this season and has played just three times as a substitute – featuring for a total of 77 minutes in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
