Manchester United’s players are reported to be “fed up” with Jadon Sancho.
The squad also supports manager Erik ten Hag’s decision to drop the winger.
Sancho was left out of United’s matchday squad for last weekend’s match against Arsenal.
After the game, Ten Hag revealed that the 23-year-old’s performances in training had not been up to scratch.
Sancho reacted furiously on social media, denying his manager’s claims and insisting he had been made a scapegoat.
It is far from the first time Ten Hag has criticised a high-profile member of his squad in public having taken Cristiano Ronaldo to task before his acrimonious departure and also dropped Marcus Rashford for last season’s game at Wolves for shoddy time keeping.
According to ESPN, United’s squad are fully behind Ten Hag’s ultra-strict approach given he applies the same standard to everyone no matter their place in the pecking order.
The report adds that several players are ‘fed up’ with Sancho and have ‘had enough of him’ following two years of unfulfilled promise at Old Trafford.
Indeed, United were in talks with Al-Ettifaq on the final day of the Saudi Pro League transfer window about a possible loan move but negotiations stalled and the player will now remain until January, hoping to force a change of heart from Ten Hag.
