A new report outlines how Jadon Sancho has been "completely exiled" at Manchester United.
Sancho has been ostracised after publishing a statement where he called out manager Erik ten Hag for comments made after he was left out of the squad for the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.
The former Borussia Dortmund made denied claims he did not perform at the required levels in training and said he had been made a scapegoat".

Sancho has since deleted his post but because he has not apologised, the England international is not welcome in the first-team environment.
A damning report from The Mirror details that Sancho has been barred from all first-team facilities as the stand-off continues.
He is therefore not allowed to socialise with his teammates, nor is he allowed to use the first-team dining area.
Instead, the 23-year-old must eat with academy players. The player himself is believed to be unhappy but is still standing firm on his refusal to apologise.
Ten Hag has proved his stubbornness with the Cristiano Ronaldo situation last season and it's said that the only way back for Sancho is to say he is sorry.
A United source told the newspaper: “There is an easy way to resolve this situation, which is for Jadon to say sorry to the manager. Something has to give – and it won't be the manager."
Sancho signed in a £73 million move in 2021 and has gone on to make 82 appearances, scoring 12 goals.
He is reported to have received an offer from Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq on the Saudi Pro League's transfer deadline day but no move came about.
Former club Barcelona and Dortmund have also been linked but Fabrizio Romano issued an update on the Sancho situation, revealing that there are no deals on the table at present.
He said: "Also regarding English clubs, no one has called Man Utd to prepare something for January. We are not yet at that stage. It is still very early."
