Jadon Sancho told to train alone ahead of Brighton clash as Man Utd issue statement

Manchester United have confirmed Jadon Sancho will remain on a 'personal training programme away from the first-team' following his dispute with Erik ten Hag.

Sancho was left out of Ten Hag's matchday squad for Man United's fixture at Arsenal before the international break.

The 23-year-old released a statement on social media shortly after the Dutch boss revealed he had been omitted due to issues in training.

He hit out at his manager as he claimed he had been made a 'scapegoat' at Man United.

Sancho has since deleted his statement from social media, but he won't be involved in his side's Premier League match on Saturday.

The Englishman will remain on a 'personal training programme away from the first-team' as he won't take any part against Brighton at Old Trafford.

The statement reads: "Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group, pending resolution of a squad discipline issue."

Sancho, who joined the club from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for £73 million, has played three games this season.
