Jadon Sancho will train away from Manchester United’s first team after refusing to apologise to Erik ten Hag for claiming that the manager was untruthful regarding his exclusion from the 3-1 loss at Arsenal on 3 September. The forward’s stance throws his long-term future at the club into further doubt.
Sancho was not in the 20-player squad for the defeat, which was the last game before the international break. Asked why afterwards, Ten Hag claimed Sancho had not trained to the requisite standard to make the trip to north London.
