Three Manchester United players have told Jadon Sancho to apologize to Erik ten Hag.
Jadon Sancho’s Manchester United career is in danger of being cut short due to his public spat with manager Erik ten Hag. The 23-year-old has been barred from all first-team facilities and barred from training.
According to The Mirror’s David McDonnell, Sancho is currently unable to access Man United’s dining room. Unless he apologizes to Ten Hag, it appears that the England international will not play for the Red Devils again, despite the fact that the team is currently short on options on the right flank due to separate issues with Antony and Mason Greenwood, who has been loaned to Spanish outfit Getafe.
Why have Sancho and Ten Hag fallen out?
Sancho impressed during preseason and was a second-half replacement in all three of United’s opening Premier League games against Wolves, Tottenham Hotspur, and Nottingham Forest. Ten Hag, on the other hand, kept Sancho out of his squad for the trip to Arsenal on September 3, citing underperformance in training.
“We didn’t select him based on his performance in training,” Ten Hag explained when asked about Sancho’s absence. “At Manchester United, you have to perform at a high level every day.” You can make decisions on the front line, thus he wasn’t selected for this game.”
Sancho responded by publishing a statement on X (the social media network formerly known as Twitter) calling Ten Hag’s charges “completely false.” “I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t get into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!” continued the former Borussia Dortmund star, who went to Old Trafford in July 2021 for an eye-watering £73 million cost.

Sancho and Ten Hag have since had a falling out, with the player missing United’s latest games against Brighton, Bayern Munich, and Burnley. Sancho was spotted playing the video game EA Sports FC 24 hours before Manchester United’s first Champions League group encounter against Bayern last week.
Which Man Utd players have told Sancho to apologise to Ten Hag?
Meanwhile, a source told ESPN that some of Sancho’s teammates have pressured him to apologize to Ten Hag in order to save his United career. Three players in particular have spoken with Sancho in an attempt to persuade him to change his mind.
According to ESPN, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, and former Manchester United captain Harry Maguire have stepped in to help fix the matter. His England teammates want him to apologize to Ten Hag in order to get back into contention and prevent the situation from developing further.
The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) has also offered to arbitrate between Sancho and the no-nonsense Ten Hag, whose professional relationship is on the verge of unravelling. With his handling of the Cristiano Ronaldo scenario, Ten Hag made it abundantly obvious to his squad that he will not be messed around by any player, regardless of their reputation.
Sancho, who has three years left on his deal with United, has pretended to be deceptive since leaving Dortmund for Manchester. However, he has showed glimpses of his amazing talent in recent seasons, and many United fans believe that the best is yet to come from the big-money winger.
