Jadon Sancho has been banned from using all first-team facilities at Manchester United‘s Carrington training ground amid his ongoing feud with manager Erik ten Hag, according to reports.
The United winger has been exiled from Ten Hag’s squad as he refuses to back down and apologise to the head coach after hitting out at him in a now-deleted social media post.
Sancho claimed he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ in an online retort after being dropped from United’s matchday squad in a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the start of September.
He has since been made to train with the club’s academy teams and the sour situation has worsened with the 23-year-old now being barred from using senior squad facilities including the dining room, The Mirror reports.
While United’s first-team superstars dine together, Sancho must instead eat with members of the youth teams as punishment.
Ten Hag’s hardcore approach to discipline means Sancho won’t be welcomed back into the fray until he apologises for his actions and accepts he was in the wrong. The ultimatum places Sancho’s future at the 13-time Premier League champions within his own grasp.
However, that is a situation the disgruntled player appears unwilling to resolve at this stage as he continues to keep his distance from other first-team players and staff around the club.
