Manchester United announced on Thursday that Jadon Sancho is training away from the first-team for disciplinary reasons.
Now, a report from The Athletic has figured that the main reason for Sancho training away from the group is he refused to apologise to manager Erik ten Hag.
The 23-year-old had already thrown his toys out of the pram when he published an ill-advised statement trying to rubbish Ten Hag’s comments after the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal. The statement which was published on X, formerly known as Twitter, has since been deleted.
Sancho will now work away from teammates at United’s academy facilities as the club look to resolve what they refer to as “a squad discipline issue”.
By refusing to apologise Sancho is just showing his lack of maturity and you can’t let a problem like that walk back into the dressing room.
Sancho needs to grow up or he’ll become one of those forgotten players. And, if he keeps behaving like this at United, he’s only going to burn bridges.

But why should he apologize if he’s telling the truth ??? I believe Sancho’s version, not Ten Hag’s !
Sancho doesn’t even believe his version.
But why will he apologize? After all it was started by ETH. If Sancho cannot perform it is your responsibility to make him perform well not to come to the media and redicule him. Remember not everybody can take that.
Come off it!! Erik ten Hag is the manager. The manager said his player who not meeting the required standard in training. Sancho then issued a statement to say Ten Hag was lying. How on earth do you see Sancho being in the right?
FFS Jadon, how many more times?
No Player Is Bigger Than The Club.
Repeat after me: No. Player. Is. Bigger. Than. The. Club.
Ronaldo is your most recent example, if still you doubt.
Name us a match – any match, just one, – where you played so brilliantly that ETH will think “ yeah, he’s right. It’s I who should be apologising.”
My breath I am not holding.
