Jadon Sancho exiled by Man United manager Erik Ten Hag

Jadon Sancho exiled by Man United manager Erik Ten Hag

Jadon Sancho has been exiled from all first-team facilities at Manchester United – including the team dining room.

Sancho has been training with United's academy players since accusing Erik ten Hag of lying over the reason for his omission from the squad for a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on September 3.

After Ten Hag said Sancho had been left out of the squad for poor training performances, Sancho took to social media to contradict his manager in a direct challenge to his authority.

Ten Hag responded by exiling Sancho from training but it can now be revealed the 23-year-old winger has been barred from using all first-team facilities at United's training base. That includes the state-of-the-art dining facilities used by the first-team stars, with Sancho forced to eat alongside academy players following his spectacular fall-out with Ten Hag.

Sancho is said to be unhappy he has been forbidden from accessing all first-team areas, but is refusing to apologise to Ten Hag, despite having deleted the controversial social media post.

United sources have admitted the situation between Sancho and Ten Hag has reached an “impasse”, with no way back for the player until he decides to apologise to his boss.

Sancho is also understood to have been late for training on several occasions, according to club sources, with the player's inflammatory social media post proving the last straw for Ten Hag.

Despite the right-wing position at United being up for grabs, with Antony currently on a leave of absence while he faces allegations of physical assault and Mason Greenwood out on loan, Sancho remains out in the cold because of his unwillingness to back down in his spat with Ten Hag.
