Man United’s Erik ten Hag says Jadon Sancho was dropped due to ‘training performance’ –

Man United winger Jadon Sancho has contradicted Erik ten Hag‘s claims that he was left out of the squad for Sunday’s clash with Arsenal due to ‘his training performance.’

The 23-year-old has struggled to kick-of at Old Trafford since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, scoring just 12 goals. 

There have been previous attitude and fitness complaints against him, but Sancho has contradicted ten Hag’s recent comments in the strongest terms. 

In a post on social media, he said: ‘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, I’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. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge.

‘I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!’
