JADON SANCHO has missed a number of training sessions since being exiled from Manchester United’s first team.
The England winger, 23, is yet to be involved with the squad after his public spat with manager Erik ten Hag following their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on September 3.
Ahead of Saturday’s game with Bournemouth at Old Trafford, Ten Hag reiterated the ball is in Sancho’s court if the matter is to be resolved.
He explained: “So it is about a culture and every player has to match certain standards and it was about that.
“What will happen there? He knows what he has to do if he wants to return. It is up to him.”
Sancho has been forced to train at the academy section of the club’s training ground, with his food brought separately from the first-team canteen.

However, SunSport can reveal he has missed a number of those training sessions.
Sancho is understood to still be on full pay and the club have not fined him for missing training as he has always had a reason.
The forward has not gone AWOL because he always provided an explanation for why he would not be turning up, sometimes citing illness.
He effectively branded Ten Hag a liar on social media after the Dutchman dropped the £73million signing from his squad for the Gunners defeat.

Having been accused of showing a poor attitude in training, Sancho posted: “I will not allow people saying things that is 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 and I have been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!”
Sancho deleted the post but Ten Hag demanded an apology, which has not been forthcoming.
