    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 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.

    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.

    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
