Jadon Sancho has backtracked on his comments on Erik ten Hag’s remarks by deleting the initial response on social media.
Sancho tweeted a response, claiming that he is being treated as a ‘scapegoat’ after Manchester United told the press that Sancho was dropped against Arsenal due to his performances in training.
The remarks from the Dutch boss and response from Sancho caught the media headlines for the coming week due to the ongoing international break including claims that Erik ten Hag addressed Sancho’s mental health battles during last season without his consent.

Earlier reports also suggested that Manchester United backed their manager against the English winger, which started speculations that Jadon Sancho will be sold in the coming winter transfer window.
Now, fans and journalists have pointed out that the initial tweet has been deleted from the winger, leading to new speculations that Sancho regrets his actions and is trying to make amends for his actions.
Jadon Sancho’s struggles at Manchester United have been conspicuous since his high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, for which the English winger commanded a hefty transfer fee of $92 million.
Despite an impressive track record of 50 goals and 64 assists in 134 matches for his former German club, Sancho has found it challenging to meet the lofty expectations at Manchester United. During his tenure with the English club, he has registered only 12 goals and six assists in 82 games.
Jadon Sancho to be sold in January
Recent reports suggest that Manchester United is actively exploring the possibility of parting ways with one of their wingers in the upcoming winter transfer window.
According to information from the Daily Star, a meeting took place between Erik ten Hag and Jadon Sancho following their fallout, but unfortunately, their crisis discussions did not lead to a resolution.
Since the disagreement, the relationship between the player and the club has deteriorated significantly, leading Manchester United to consider cutting their losses with the English winger.
Mirror Football has reported that Erik ten Hag was shocked by Sancho’s public reaction and expressed dismay at the player’s decision to air their issues in a public forum. The Daily Star‘s report goes on to suggest that the trust between the two parties has suffered irrevocable damage, with neither the player nor the manager able to mend their fractured relationship.

Regarding potential destinations, earlier reports indicated that Bayern Munich might express interest in securing the services of the winger. Additionally, links to Saudi Arabia persist as a possible option for any player.
The financial aspect of this situation adds intrigue, especially considering Manchester United’s significant investment in Jadon Sancho, having acquired him for a substantial fee of $92 million from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
At present, Sancho’s weekly wages at the club amount to approximately $311,000, translating to an annual income of $16 million. It’s worth noting that Sancho remains under contract with Manchester United for another three years, having signed a five-year deal with the club in 2021.
