Jadon Sancho has now deactivated his Instagram account after he was banished from all first-team facilities at Manchester United.
Jadon Sancho did this following his ongoing row with Erik ten Hag that has left him exiled from all first-team facilities.
In the deleted post, he stated that he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ after he was dropped from United’s matchday squad in a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the start of September.
The Englishman has since been banished from the first-team training and he went on to deactivate one of his main social media accounts.
The issues between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag started when the Dutchman claimed the winger was excluded from Arsenal’s matchday squad due to ‘performances in training.’
Sancho said on X (Formerly Twitter): “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is (sic) 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.”
“I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and (am) grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge.”
“I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!” Jadon Sancho concluded.
Jadon Sancho has however deleted the post he shared on his social media accounts, but above is the screenshot of the post.
Erik ten Hag on the other hand held talks with the player to calm things alongside the club’s director of football John Murtough and CEO Richard Arnold. But that has not changed much as the player refused to apologize.
Futballnews understands that three of Manchester United’s first-team stars have informed Sancho to issue an apology to the United boss.
A source who revealed the situation surrounding Jadon Sancho claimed that: “Jadon’s teammates have been telling him to back down and say sorry to the boss. They want him to apologize.”
“They sympathize with him and the way he feels, but recognize a line was crossed with what he posted.”
Recall we also reported that Jadon Sancho was made to train with the club’s academy teams and has been barred from using senior squad facilities – such as the dining room.
In the pre-match conference held by Erik ten Hag before Burnley’s win, he said: “It depends on him. For the rest, we are preparing for Burnley and that’s our focus. He will not be in the squad.”
We understand that the England international was consistently late to training and he also failed to meet the training standard that the United manager set.
The exile means that without Jadon Sancho, Ten Hag only has one option for United’s right-wing who is Facundo Pellistri.
Antony on the other hand is currently on leave of absence following accusations of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavalin.
Amad Diallo is also not available as he was sidelined with an injury which he picked up during Man United’s pre-season.
Mason Mount, who might return from injury soon, will likely be considered on the right wing as the feud between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag continues.
