Jadon Sancho has removed the message in which the forward questioned Erik ten Hag’s reason for dropping him for Manchester United’s 3-1 loss at Arsenal, in what is being viewed as a positive development regarding his future at the club.
After the defeat on 3 September, in what was the final match before the international break, Ten Hag stated Sancho had not travelled to the Emirates Stadium due to not having performed in training. “So for this game he was not selected,” the manager said.
Immediately, Sancho responded with the message on X, formerly known as Twitter, which he also pinned to his account until deleting it on Tuesday. In it, Sancho claimed that Ten Hag’s explanation had been “completely untrue”, which called his United future into question.
While it is understood talks are ongoing regarding this, Sancho’s decision to expunge the message is a sign that he wants a positive outcome, and is also being viewed as a positive move by the club.
The full message read: “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that [are] completely untrue. I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I have been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!”
