GOAL
Jadon Sancho has deleted a social media post hitting back at Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag following criticism of his training performances.
- Ten Hag criticised Sancho publicly
- Forward responded on social media
- Has now deleted ‘scapegoat post’
WHAT HAPPENED? Sancho was not included in the United squad for their 3-1 Premier League defeat to Arsenal last Sunday, with Ten Hag explaining that his work at Carrington in the days leading up to the game had not been up to scratch. The England international responded after those comments, accusing his manager of making him a ‘scapegoat’ for the team’s problems on social media. However, on Tuesday evening, he deleted the post.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ten Hag has been criticised for his handling of the situation by several onlookers, who believe he should have kept his displeasure at Sancho’s conduct in house. The player was linked with a dramatic deadline-day move to the Saudi Pro League, but ended up remaining at Old Trafford.
