Chelsea were reportedly offered the chance to sign Manchester United star Jadon Sancho as part of a swap deal in the summer, following his public falling out with Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag in the aftermath of their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. The Dutch boss insisted that the former Borussia Dortmund man had not been up to the required standard in training, a claim that the player has since adamantly refuted on social media.<\/p>\n
When quizzed after the Red Devils’ defeat in north London on why Sancho was not involved, Ten Hag bluntly replied: “Jadon, on his performances in training we did not select him. You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected.”<\/p>\n
However, Sancho took issue with the claim and immediately hit back on social media, writing: “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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n

I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!”<\/p>\n As tensions between Sancho and Ten Hag are visibly strained, Fabrizio Romano has now claimed that Chelsea were offered the opportunity to sign the ex-England man as part of a swap deal with Marc Cucurella – who United had targeted to help fill their void at left-back before landing Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilon.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
