Jadon Sancho spotted at Man Utd U18s after being banished from first team with Red Devils future in doubt

JADON SANCHO was spotted watching Manchester United’s U18s on Saturday afternoon after being axed from Erik ten Hag’s squad.

The English forward, 23, is in the midst of a public bust-up with manager Ten Hag after claiming he was being made a “scapegoat” at Old Trafford.

Sancho returned to Carrington on Thursday but was forced to train alone after failing to apologise for his comments.

On Friday, Ten Hag admitted he does not know whether the ex-Borussia Dortmund winger will play for Man Utd again.

But he confirmed Sancho was not available for selection for the home Premier League game against Brighton this weekend.

And just hours before the clash at Old Trafford, outcast Sancho was seen watching the U18s.

He kept himself inconspicuous by pulling his hood over his head.

But a snap of him at the game – which took place at Man Utd’s Carrington training ground – still emerged on social media.

United were taking on Nottingham Forest’s youngsters and earned a 2-1 win despite playing the entirety of the second half with 10 men.

Meanwhile, Sancho’s future is unresolved as he is linked with move to Borussia Dortmund.

Following United’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates before the international break, Ten Hag explained Sancho’s absence from the squad, saying: “Jadon was absent on his performance in training.

“We didn’t select him. You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices on the front line, so for this game he wasn’t selected.”

In response, Sancho said: “I will not allow people saying things that are completely untrue, I conducted myself in training very well this week.

“I believe there are other reasons that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time!”

The latest development came on Friday when Ten Hag was quizzed about whether Sancho will play for Man Utd again.

To which he replied: “I don’t know.

“I’m sitting here and we have a big game, we are going into a new block of games, many games in a condensed programme. I focus on that.”
