Ten Hag dropped Sancho from his matchday plans for a Premier League trip to Arsenal. He stated that performances in training were behind that decision. Sancho hit back in a statement of his own, with the 23-year-old forward claiming to have been made a “scapegoat”.

DID YOU KNOW?

Talks have been held between Sancho and his club boss, with the reporting that a parting of ways now appears to be inevitable. A loan deal in January is considered to be the most likely option, with that agreement including the option for a permanent transfer to be pushed through in the summer of 2024.

Any switch will bring a forgettable spell at United to a close for Sancho. On the back of his £75 million ($94m) arrival from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in 2021, the highly-rated wideman has registered just 12 goals through 82 appearances and lost his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
