The reason behind the tension between Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho is revealed

At Manchester United there has been tension between two members of the team since the beginning of this season and it seems that little by little everything is beginning to come to light. Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho are not on the best of terms and this is due to certain accusations between them regarding performance in training. The Englishman assured that Ten Hag's words about his disposition in training are not in line with reality.

According to Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic, on September 11, after the FIFA break, Ten Hag showed Sancho training videos to explain why he felt the player's performance had been insufficient in training prior to the match against Arsenal. The player did not finish clarifying what was really happening, but since then a certain displeasure was noted on the part of both in the club.

Sancho knew that he would not start against Arsenal and according to Ten Hag, he did not commit to the exercises as expected. There was an exchange of words. Ten Hag tried to clarify everything when they met but Sancho did not agree with Ten Hag's opinion. Hag wanted a face-to-face apology, which the club would then communicate publicly to contextualize Sancho's return to the squad. Sancho refused to apologize.

Was Jadon Sancho sidelined by Ten Hag?

His representatives, including lawyers, participated in the process, which ended in a stalemate. There was no request from United for Sancho to apologize to Ten Hag in front of the team or to them. Since then, Ten Hag's position has not softened, and Sancho also remains firm. Sancho has carried out his daily work either alone or with players from the quarry. Sancho is not allowed entry to the first team facilities, so he has parked his car near the academy building .
