Manchester United's winger, Jadon Sancho, recently expressed his frustration after being unexpectedly left out of the squad to face Arsenal due to what his manager, Erik ten Hag, cited as poor training performance. This decision came amidst United's 3-1 Premier League defeat to Arsenal, which pushed them down to the 11th position in the league standings.

Ten Hag elaborated on the situation, explaining that Sancho's exclusion was based on his training performance, emphasizing the daily expectation of excellence at Manchester United. He justified the choice to not include Sancho in the lineup for that particular game, citing the flexibility in selecting the front-line players.

Responding to these comments, the 23-year-old Sancho took to social media, specifically X (formerly Twitter), to set the record straight. He vehemently denied the notion that he had performed poorly in training and insisted that there were undisclosed reasons behind the decision. Sancho lamented that he had often been unfairly singled out and labeled a scapegoat in the past, which he believed was unjust. His primary goal, he stated, was to play football with joy and contribute to the team's success.

Despite the disappointment, Sancho expressed his respect for the coaching staff's decisions and his gratitude for playing alongside exceptional teammates. He acknowledged the challenge of competing at such a high level every week but reaffirmed his commitment to the club and his determination to give his all for the badge.
