Sancho fires back at Ten Hag over Manchester United squad omission

Jadon Sancho, the English forward, has responded to Manchester United’s manager Ten Hag after being left out of the matchday squad during their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Sancho, who is 23 years old, has only managed to play for 76 minutes out of a potential 270 in Manchester United’s first three games of the season, all of which he participated in as a substitute.

Following the defeat, Ten Hag faced inquiries about his decision not to include the 23-year-old in the squad.

After the loss, Ten Hag was questioned about why he didn’t include the 23-year-old in the squad.

“Jadon, on his performances in training we did not select him,” the United boss said after the defeat.

“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.”

Meanwhile, Sancho was quick to hit back at the former Ajax manager. In a post via his X account, formerly Twitter, he wrote,

“Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is 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, 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.
