MANCHESTER UNITED have BANISHED Jadon Sancho from training after his public row with Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have confirmed that the 23-year-old winger will train separately from the first team.
A short statement from the club read: “Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.”
Sancho claimed that he was made a “scapegoat” after Ten Hag criticised his performances in training following United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal earlier this month.
His bombshell social media statement, which has now been deleted, kickstarted a public feud with the Dutchman.
Sancho wrote: “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, 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 my team.
“I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and 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 Man Utd team-mates have now reportedly “had enough” of him.
Ten Hag has also grown increasingly frustrated with the winger.
Just days after releasing his scathing statement, Sancho was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
However, talks collapsed after Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq refused to agree on a £50million obligation to buy following an initial loan.
The winger took some time away from football during the international break after missing out on an England call-up.
He flew to New York with team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka last week to attend NBA star John Wall’s birthday party.
Sancho has since returned to England to hold crisis talks with Man Utd officials.
He was spotted at Carrington on Thursday morning for the first time since his public fall-out with Ten Hag.
Sancho had been due to meet the United boss on Monday, although it is currently unclear whether or not discussions took place.
Sancho has failed to live up to his billing since his £73million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
The England star has made three appearances off the bench so far this campaign.
And he spent three months out of the first-team picture last season, training alone in Holland.
