Jadon Sancho deactivates Instagram account as feud with Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag continues

Jadon Sancho has deactivated his Instagram account as his future with Manchester United remains uncertain.

Earlier in the month, Sancho was left out of the United squad for their Premier League match against Arsenal.

When asked about his decision, Ten Hag said: “Jadon was [absent] on his performance on the training.

“We didn't select him. You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices on the frontline, so for this game, he wasn't selected.”

On the back of Ten Hag's comments, Sancho took to social media to release a statement of his own.

It read: “Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is 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!”

Over the last few weeks, it was reported that Sancho refused to apologise to Ten Hag and has been 'completely exiled' from the club's training facilities.

On Tuesday morning, it was spotted that the winger has deactivated his Instagram account.

It is currently unknown why Sancho decided to remove his Instagram account.

According to the Daily Mirror, some of Sancho’s teammates have urged the 23-year-old to apologise to the manager.

It is believed that Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw are amongst those who have asked Sancho to swallow his pride and say sorry to Ten Hag.
