Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag stands by Jadon Sancho comments

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Erik ten Hag is standing by his reason for excluding Jadon Sancho from the Manchester United squad at Arsenal, despite the winger using social media to contest that version of events.

Ten Hag said Sancho had been left out of the squad based "on his performance in training", but an hour later Sancho posted a statement that said he was being used as a scapegoat and that his manager's comments were "completely untrue".

Sancho said: "Please don't believe everything you read! I have conducted myself in training very well this week. "I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won't get into, I've been a scapegoat for a long time which isn't fair!"
