Jadon Sancho is flatly refusing to apologise to Erik ten Hag over his social media outburst earlier this month, according to reports. The 23-year-old hit out at his manager following Manchester United’s defeat to Arsenal by\u00a0accusing the Dutchman of lying over the reasons for his absence from the squad.<\/p>\n
Sancho\u00a0is now being forced to train away from the main first-team group at Carrington, with Ten Hag unwilling to let him back into the side until he makes a private apology. However, it has been reported by The Telegraph that Sancho is ‘refusing to back down’, which suggests that it could still be a while before the saga is resolved.<\/p>\n
It is said that Sancho believes Ten Hag has not treated him the same way as his United team-mates and feels aggrieved by the current situation. This is said to be among the reasons why he insisted that he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ in a lengthy post on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n
Sancho deleted the post earlier this week after pinning it to the top of his profile for several days, which came as a hint that progress was being made behind the scenes. However, it seems as though the matter is not yet close to being resolved as far as the Red Devils are concerned.<\/p>\n

He is said to be particularly frustrated that his mental health struggles last season were brought up without prior permission.<\/p>\n Ten Hag, meanwhile, is yet to speak publicly on the matter since his initial comments in the aftermath of United’s defeat to Arsenal. He is likely to be quizzed on the topic in his press conference on Friday before the Red Devils face Brighton at Old Trafford the following afternoon.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Sancho\u00a0was linked with a move to\u00a0Saudi\u00a0Arabia during the final days of the window but nothing came to fruition and he was subsequently named in United’s final 25-man Premier League squad.<\/p>\n
