Man United winger Jadon Sancho has contradicted Erik ten Hag's claims that he was left out of the squad for Sunday's clash with Arsenal due to 'his training performance.'
The 23-year-old has struggled to kick-of at Old Trafford since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, scoring just 12 goals.
He had appeared off the bench in each of United's previous three Premier League games this season before being left out of the squad on Sunday.
There have been previous attitude and fitness complaints against the England international, but Sancho has contradicted ten Hag's recent comments in the strongest terms.
In a post on social media, he said: 'Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.
'I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won't go into, I've been a scapegoat for a long time which isn't fair!
'All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge.
'I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!'

In Football there only one thing that matters, results. The media has been protecting Ten Hag for some reason or another. Facts are Facts. Ronaldo, De Gea & Greenwood Out. Maguire always the reason for all evil. Sancho after this post can start packing his bags. Owner that do not Love or understand football and also will not sell, pretending they will so that the club is on the news. Ten Hag is not what many people think and more then ever results are needed. If Man U are already far behind in EPL what will happen when they are playing UCL & EPL in the same week? International Break is here and maybe Sancho goes to Saudi maybe Maguire goes to Saudi. In the end of the day all that matters is results and they are not good at all.

Sancho is one of the top 3 worst United players currently in the squad. he has been inconsistent, awful to watch and lack enthusiasm to play for the badge! Sancho needs to be shown the exit for sabotaging the manager's job after given much time to prove himself for the past 2 season. could you imagine ETH arranged a personal training, break and rehab for this folk to get better for 3 months when the United fans was calling for his h*ad but "hell NO" he didn't. ETH even tried attaching him to play as a 8 to see if he can improve his confidence but he didn't. sancho should stop playing victim card cause we all experienced everything that ETH did for him to get better but instead he failed woefully in building his confidence back. if am ETH I would send him on loan in January and the rest will be history for him at the club. ungrateful element. he should learn from Granacho and stop complaining because he's sh*t!

Have faith in ETH he will bring the glory days back, we are moving in the right direction, nothing happens overnight. It took Klop 5 years to make Liverpool the machine it is today.

All these talk about no player being bigger than the club is just a huge joke. Clubs do not exist without players. Remove the players and all you have is a social club where members drink and celebrate birthdays. Great players make great clubs and when they leave, it takes years for clubs to regain balance. Of course club management behaves as if no player is indispensable but we know differently: Claude Makalele was treated by Real Madrid as if he did not matter anymore some years back and he took his leave. It cost Real three seasons to regain balance: Lionel Messi left Barcelona and the club still struggles; Killian Mbappe wants to leave PSG at the end of his contract in 2024 and the entire club is in disarray. Christiano Ronaldo left Man United who considered him disruptive and spent but today, Man United is still grappling in the dark. Players matter and YES big players make clubs. It is short sighted to think you can just do away with them without consequences.
