JADON SANCHO has arrived at Manchester United’s training ground following his banishment from the first-team.
The England international found himself embroiled in a spat with Erik ten Hag earlier this month after his gaffer publicly criticised his effort in training after United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Sancho hit back at the Dutchman on social media and has reportedly ‘REFUSED‘ to apologise for his scathing post, which was deleted on Tuesday.
Ten Hag hasn’t taken the forward’s actions lightly, exiling him from the first team and forcing him to train alone.
Sancho, 23, turned up to United’s Carrington training ground on Friday in his swanky matte black G-wagon.
But the former Borussia Dortmund man’s face was hidden as he arrived to train solo.

United announced Ten Hag’s decision to isolate Sancho from the rest of the squad on Thursday.
A club statement read: “Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.”
Sancho took a three-month hiatus from the team last season to focus on his mental health and seemed to be in Ten Hag’s good books following his return to action.
But he exploded at the former Ajax boss after being accused of putting in a less than stellar effort in during training, saying: “Please don’t believe everything you read!

“I will not allow people to say things that are 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, I’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 the team.
“I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and I am grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge.
“I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!”
Sancho’s outburst seemingly put him course for a shock move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.
Steven Gerrard’s side were interested in taking the winger on loan for the season but were ultimately put off by a £50million obligation to buy clause.
Ten Hag will likely be quizzed about the decision to exile Sancho this afternoon in his pre-match conference for Saturday’s clash with Brighton.
