Jadon Sancho has been left out of the Borussia Dortmund squad AGAIN amid interest from Manchester United.
And reports claim Sancho's absence has nothing to do with an illness which kept him out of the team for the German Super Cup against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

It's claimed that United have not given up on signing the England international before next Monday's transfer deadline.
Dortmund say Sancho is out with a respiratory infection.
But that didn't stop United fans from speculating on a potential deal.
One Twitter user wrote: "So Sancho was 'sick'. But he trained.. every german reporter expected him to start. yet he isn't in the squad at all."

A second tweeted: "No Sancho. He's finally leaving these bottlers."
A third added: "You are telling me there's still hope."
The Red Devils have kept tabs on Sancho all summer, making him their No.1 transfer target.

But they've have failed to stump up the cash with Dortmund demanding a fee of £108 million.
United are thought to be keeping an eye on Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele should they fail to lure Sancho back to England.
