Special report - Inside Jadon Sancho's Manchester United exile
Full details of Jadon Sancho's row with Erik ten Hag, why talks over an apology reached a stalemate, what he's doing now and how it ends
Jadon Sancho is showing no sign of backing down in his dispute with Erik ten Hag, prompting discussions at Old Trafford of a January exit strategy. But there was a time when a resolution seemed possible.
On Monday, September 11, following breaks abroad during the international window, Ten Hag took Sancho through videos of training to explain why he felt the player’s output had been insufficient.
The clips pertained to United’s final session before the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on September 3, in which Sancho was asked to replicate the opposition style against the starting XI Ten Hag had selected.

The issues are deep set, stemming from years of Glazer family ownership.
Their detached yet involved approach creates a workplace that is paradoxically stifled while also lacking direction. Joel Glazer is remote, living on the east coast of the United States, but wants to have oversight on all manner of financial details. United executives often have to wait for sunrise in Florida or Washington D.C., his two main bases, to get approval for things. Even then, he tends to like time to deliberate.
On the football side, that means squad regeneration is a slower process than optimum.
Ten Hag is discovering why predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came to keep hold of players rather than sanction sales. Aside from United being bad at getting good money for their unwanted pl

Erik ten Hag on transfers: “I’m totally involved, but you have seen all the investments which other clubs are making + you can’t compete in the Premier League for the top positions when you don’t invest in your squad.”
