The situation surrounding Jadon Sancho at Manchester United has taken a new turn, as it has been reported that he has been removed from the club’s WhatsApp group.
This group is used by manager Erik ten Hag and his staff to send important information to the first-team players.
Sancho’s exclusion from the group is another setback for the winger, who is already prohibited from training with the senior squad or using any of their facilities, including the canteen.
His food is taken across to the academy section, where he also has his dressing room.
This latest development comes after Sancho hit back on social media against The United Stand, who promoted a stream casting doubt on his future at the club.
Marcus Rashford also spoke out against the spread of malicious rumours.
Rashford missed the recent Fulham game due to injury, and Ten Hag criticized him for partying after the Manchester derby defeat.
Sancho’s suspension, which started after he was left out of the team for September’s 3-1 loss at Arsenal, has left him to train on his own.
The 23-year-old forward has been at odds with Ten Hag and the club’s staff since his training was deemed to be below standard.
The situation escalated when Ten Hag called for an apology from Sancho, which was never given.
Despite efforts from staff and teammates to encourage him to back down, Sancho has refused to do so.
Manchester United have struggled in Sancho’s absence, but they managed to secure a last-gasp victory over Fulham in their previous game.
Ten Hag praised the team’s resilience and spirit after the match but stressed that the club’s standards must be maintained in every game.
