    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.

    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.

    And some of the responses Neville received while controlling Scott’s phone were harrowing as they demonstrated the sexism on Twitter.
    In response to Neville posting about Champions League matches, one person said: “Get back in the kitchen, babe.”
    Another replied: “You should probably concentrate on the girl’s league.”
    A third added: “You finally agreed to marry me?”

    Yet another troll said: “Seems like your brain’s gone missing. Better leave football to the boys then luv.”
    While another response read: “Save your opinions for what to make for dinner.”
    Meanwhile, Scott, using Neville’s phone, got a reply saying: “The most objective opinion I’ve seen from you.”
    Reacting to the experiment, Neville said: “The heated debates and rivalries are what makes football so exhilarating. But when negativity is linked to gender, this goes too far, especially from behind a screen.

    “By putting myself in Jill’s shoes and seeing the reaction, I have seen first-hand the uglier side of this sport that I love and want to make it clear that football is for everyone.
    “On the pitch and online, we should treat each other with respect no matter our gender, race, sexuality or what colour shirt we’re wearing.”
    And Scott added: “Attitudes have definitely changed, but there’s no doubt that female fans, pundits and players still get a lot more online negativity than men due to gender bias. You develop a thick skin – but we shouldn’t have to.
    “Some people have probably been left a little red-faced by this experiment but hopefully it’s reminded everyone of the need to kick gender bias out of the game for good.
    “Anyone can be a fan of sport, regardless of gender and it’s time to remember this.” More

    Danis made the sensational accusation – which also included Paul’s brother Jake – on Twitter after seeing footage of himself going to war during a sparring session with one of his training partners.
    He tweeted: “Shane Mosley was right; the Pauls send spies into camps for any advantage because they suck.

    Killer Bee seems to have found her home in the sport’s top promotion, winning three of her five brutal bouts in BKFC.
    Bare-knuckle boxers seldom escape bouts without brutal facial injuries – which are part and parcel of the trade.
    But Starling was left looking unrecognisable after her 2021 clash with fellow OnlyFans star Charisa Sigala – a former opponent of ex-UFC star Paige VanZant.
    The mum-of-two was victorious in the five-rounder, having her hand raised courtesy of a unanimous decision victory.

    But she was left with multiple war wounds for her efforts, the worst of which was a horrific shiner under her right eye.
    A bloody and dented nose was an additional reward for the American as well as a swollen top lip.
    Speaking after her BKFC debut, Starling said: “It was really tough, it was fun – I enjoyed it.
    “It was definitely a different ball game but I had a blast.”

    Being cracked to the face by bare knuckles took some getting used to for the blonde bruiser.
    She said: “The thing that surprised me the most was that small shots hurt really bad. There are big shots that don’t hurt as bad.
    “But something as simple as taking a knuckle and slicing your eyebrow – a small knuckle definitely hurts a lot more than you think.”
    Starling dished out her fair share of punishment to Sigala, whom she dropped in the first round.
    She said of her foe: “She had a lot of heart. I definitely thought she was going to be put away and that we weren’t going to go the full five rounds.
    “But I’m glad we did because I enjoy taking it all in and taking those five rounds and really putting a show on for people.
    “Because that’s what people come for.”
    Starling picked up back-to-back wins over Cassie Robb and Hannah Guy after her clash with Sigala before suffering a 40-second defeat to Christine Ferea.
    She got back in the win column with a boxing win over Angelica Martinez but suffered a second successive BKFC defeat to Jade Masson-Wong in May.
    When she’s not in the ring, Starling is hard at work looking after her two children.
