      Sancho issued a statement, which has since been deleted, denying Ten Hag’s claim he had been left out because he wasn’t training well enough, and insisted he was being made a scapegoat.
      The winger was subsequently banished from first-team training after Sancho refused to apologise for his outburst, with his days at the club looking numbered
      According to Manchester Evening News Sancho is open to a January transfer – and there is no shortage of interest.
      Nottingham Forest are the latest club to be linked to the 23-year-old, who signed Anthony Elanga from United in the summer.

      Sancho’s former side Borussia Dortmund is also rumoured to be interested with a potential loan deal being offered.
      Saudi Arabia side Al-Ettifaq, who are managed by Steven Gerrard, made a late move for Sancho in the summer transfer window but ran out of time to complete a deal.
      Sancho’s row with Ten Hag exploded after he hit out the manager’s comments on social media with a bombshell statement.

      Jadon Sancho arrives at Carrington to train alone after banished Man Utd star ‘refuses to apologise’ to Erik ten Hag

      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.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      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 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.

      However days earlier he had been offered to Vincent Kompany’s men who were also on the look-out for a left-back at the time.
      The Clarets could not make the numbers work and passed up the opportunity – only for him to end up down the M66 at Old Trafford a few days later.
      Burnley’s chief operating officer Matt Williams said: “Left backs are a bit of a rarity. Look at Manchester United – one of the biggest clubs in world football.
      “Luke Shaw goes down injured and they take a player from Tottenham who we’d been offered three or four days earlier.

      “It was a business decision that we didn’t sign him – salaries, loan fees etc.”
      Kompany had been left searching for a left-back after Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen – who spent last season at Turf Moor – went cold on a permanent move.
      A £31million fee had been agreed between the clubs but the Dutch youngster was given some encouragement at Stamford Bridge at the last minute.
      Williams told BBC Lancashire: “We were in for Ian Maatsen, We were really keen at the start of the window,

      “Then he went on tour with Chelsea and did really well. But they came to us and said they’d be prepared to do a permanent deal – not a loan
      “We had everything agreed but the player was training with the first team and the manager had said to him he had a bright future at Chelsea.
      “So he thought he’d rather stay there and chance his arm at Chelsea. We totally respect that and Vincent understood it.”

      I was Rasmus Hojlund’s first coach… Man Utd’s £72m striker is cheeky and fun like Bendtner, but not as naturally gifted

      by

      RASMUS HOJLUND’S first coach is full of praise for his former player, but admits Nicklas Bendtner was more talented.Danish starlet Hojlund joined Manchester United this summer for £72million after an impressive campaign last season at Atalanta.

      He has compared him to Nicklas Bendtner, but with the caveat that he is less naturally giftedCredit: Getty
      The hardworking centre-forward showed glimpses of promise when he made is debut in a 23 minute cameo against Arsenal.
      And it’s a former Gunner, and compatriot, that he has been compared to by his first coach.
      Christian Mouroux, of minnows Horsholm-Usserod Idraetsklub in North Zealand, Denmark, knows Hojlund well after working with him from the age of 12 and has compared him to ex-Arsenal striker Bendtner.
      Mouroux, who himself followed Hojlund to Brondby as a coach, said: “A good comparison can be made to the other rising superstar we had in Nicklas Bendtner.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      “They are both number nines, both very physical and have this twinkle in the eye. They are humorous, outgoing and cheeky.”
      But despite the comparison, Mouroux doesn’t think Hojlund is quite as gifted as Bendtner.
      He explained: “Bendtner was probably a more naturally-gifted footballer but that perhaps made him take things more lightly and get influenced by everything that affects you from the outside when you become a superstar.
      “Rasmus is completely different. Although I’m sure he will probably buy a bigger car and has a nice watch, it will not blow out of proportion.

      “He has the right mentality for it. He is so disciplined. He is very aware of what hard work does for you and it’s hard work that has brought him to where he is today.”
      Bendtner garnered himself a reputation in England of being a flashy star who splashed the cash and regularly found himself in the news and even earned himself the nickname “Lord Bendtner”.
      But he still had an impressive career making 171 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 47 goals and registering a further 22 assists.
      Manchester United fans will be hoping Hojlund can go a step further than Bendtner and help them return to their former glory.
      And Mouroux has no doubt that the youngster can shoulder the pressure to achieve big things at Old Trafford.
      He said: “Rasmus has never been an arrogant person. But he has always been extremely confident and, more than that, extremely focused.
      “If anyone can, I would say it is Rasmus who can cope with that pressure.”
      After a successful international break helping to steer Denmark’s Euro 2024 qualification hopes back on track, Hojlund will be looking to translate his national team form on to the pitch for Erik ten Hag.
      He will be hoping to get his first start for the Red Devils when they host Brighton on Saturday.

      Rasmus Hojlund was shocked when he found out he was worth £72m, but he has the mentality to lead Man Utd to glory

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans are crying out for Rasmus Hojlund to lead the team out of their early season struggles.The Red Devils new boy used a megaphone to address Denmark supporters after a substitute appearance in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Finland that put them  back on course to qualify for Euro 2024.

      And after a controversial couple of weeks for boss Erik ten Hag involving Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho and Antony, Hojlund is finally ready to deliver some more good news.
      The 20-year-old striker is now hoping to make a big noise as he eyes his full debut against Brighton tomorrow.
      And the sporting director of his old Danish club is convinced he has the personality and ability to be an Old Trafford hit.
      Christian Mouroux, of minnows Horsholm-Usserod Idraetsklub in North Zealand, knows Hojlund well after working with him from the age of 12.

      Hojlund is not the first strapping, self-assured Danish centre forward to arrive in England with big expectations.
      Mouroux, who himself followed Hojlund to Brondby as a coach,  said: “A good comparison can be made to the other rising superstar we had in Nicklas Bendtner.

      Hojlund’s discipline comes from dad Anders, a former semi-pro striker, and mum Kirsten Winther, an ex-100metre sprinter.
      The family home is still just around the corner from HUI and was adapted to help Hojlund and his younger twin brothers Oscar and Emil (now in FC Copenhagen’s Under-19 team) reach their potential.
      Mouroux said: “Rasmus’ father is a carpenter. When they renovated their house, he converted the basement into a football field so they could play even when the weather was bad.
      “Anders coached all three of his sons at HUI. But when those boys came home and had lost a game, or had not played well, the mother was just as tough on them, maybe even more, pushing them to have the right mentality.
      “They’ve had it from very young and from both sides.”
      Rasmus has never been an arrogant person, but he has always been extremely confident and, more than that, extremely focused.Christian Mouroux
      Hojlund’s commitment to self-improvement, rather than spectacular talent, was what made him stand out as a kid.
      Mouroux said: “He played a year up and was always quite physically developed. An attacking midfielder, as I recall.
      “But he wasn’t extremely fast, like he is now, and  he wasn’t extraordinarily gifted compared to those he was playing with.
      “I do remember watching him running round the field in a Manchester United shirt. But I saw him more often in the stadium training on his own.
      “Standing out came later for him, thanks to the individual training he did, constantly being down there running through cones, shooting, his father giving him balls again and again, and training with his brothers.”

      HUI had a partnership with Brondby and Hojlund moved just before his 12th birthday.
      But when he and his father felt he was not making enough progress, he went to FC Copenhagen.
      There, Hojlund’s ability to be a powerhouse No 9 was unlocked and he made his first-team debut at 17.
      Yet he was unable to establish himself as first-choice frontman. So in January 2022, as an 18- year-old, he upped sticks to Austria to join Sturm Graz.
      SG sporting director Andreas Schicker and head coach Christian Ilzer were struck by how confidently Hojlund  took the big move in his stride.
      After an impressive first half-season, Hojlund started the next campaign in style. The second goal of his double in a 2-1 win over champions Red Bull Salzburg in July 2022, a lightning-quick run that ended with a fine finish, was transformational.
      He has the right mentality for it. He is so disciplined. He is very aware of what hard work does for you and it’s hard work that has brought him to where he is today.Christian Mouroux
      Ilzer said: “It was probably the goal that opened all the doors of European football for him.”
      Weeks later, he was signed for nearly £15million by Atalanta for nearly, whose boss Gian Piero Gasperini added to the “new Erling Haaland” hype.
      Less than a year after that, United agreed an initial fee of £64m, plus £8m in add-ons, to make him by far the most expensive Danish player ever.
      Mouroux said: “When the number first came, I know he was surprised.“But as soon as he had taken that in, he thought: ‘There must be a reason why someone wants to pay this for me. Someone believed in what I am able to do, now it’s just a matter of me doing what is expected of me and what I know I can do to fulfil that expectation’. ”

      There were signs of promise in Hojlund’s United debut off the bench in the defeat at Arsenal.
      Now, fresh from delivering a rallying cry to his country, he needs to give United fans something to shout about.

      Man Utd star once involved in training ground bust-up wanted by Besiktas in last-gasp transfer swoop

      Besikitas and United have recently been in negotiations after the Instanbul-base side signed centre-back Eric Bailly.
      They are now looking to strengthen their ranks further by eyeing a move for midfielder Mejbri with the Turkish transfer window still open.
      Mejbri spent last season in the Championship at Birmingham City, where he made 41 appearances.
      The Tunisia International is in high demand but has remained at United, who have resisted offers to sign the player permanently.

      Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund also had their eyes on a deal for the midfielder in the summer but the move got turned down.
      And Besiktas offered a loan deal with an option to buy the player but got knocked back by the Red Devils.
      Now Turkish outlet Fanatik, cited by Sport Witness says the Turkish giants will fire back with a loan approach without an option to buy.

      Tunisia’s 3-1 victory against Mo Salah’s Egypt on Tuesday saw United fans demanding Ten Hag to reward Mejbri more game time.
      The youngster made headlines last May as he was involved in a training ground clash with former Red Devils star Alex Telles – in the aftermath of their humiliating 4-0 defeat against Brighton. More

      Manchester United vs Brighton preview
      Manchester United welcome Brighton on Saturday in a very intriguing Premier League duel.
      The Seagulls have had a bit of an up-and-down start to the season, but when they’re up, they’re very much flying.
      Last time out saw them thump Newcastle 3-1 in a full-throttle performance, which went some way to getting back on track after a 3-1 home defeat to West Ham previously.
      As for United, it’s difficult to sum their start to the season up, other than putting it down as ‘bumpy’.
      They weren’t convincing when beating Wolves on matchday one and were even less so in losing to Tottenham.
      A come-from-behind win over Nottingham Forest followed before that late, late defeat to Arsenal before the break.
      United thought they’d won it towards the end, only for the Gunners to bang in two late goals against a centre back pairing of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans.
      Rasmus Hojlund made his first appearance from the bench after injury and played over 70 minutes across Denmark’s games in the break, so he should be slowing getting back up to speed.
      But with off-field problems for Antony and Jadon Sancho, it’s not all rosy in Manchester at present.

      Manchester United vs Brighton betting tips
      Brighton to win and both teams to score at 17/5 – CLAIM HERE
      They’re probably the most exciting team to watch in the division at present and Brighton could show that here.
      United haven’t had a decent performance at home this season yet and it’s difficult to see their defence – whoever makes it in the back four – coping with the sheer pace and power that the visitors have to offer.

      Old Trafford is a big pitch and their expansive football will suit it perfectly.
      Both teams have scored in every one of their games so far.
      Solly March to score or assist at 13/8 – CLAIM HERE
      Much has been spoken about Mitoma and Ferguson as March continues to fly under the radar.
      He scored twice in the Seagulls’ last away game and on the opening day too.
      Two games without a goal could see him fire back here, or set up one of his forward friends.
      Casemiro to be carded at 6/4 – CLAIM HERE
      After a string of yellow cards last season, the Brazilian is yet to find his way into a whistler’s notebook this season.
      That could change here with the fast-pace football the Brighton trio in midfield will play.
      Their transitional play will cause United problems and the enforcer in the middle could find himself isolated at times, which has been a theme for the Reds this campaign.
