Jadon Sancho now behind Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Pellistri in Man United pecking order

Since moving to United from Dortmund Sancho is yet to hit his stride

Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Pellistri are now ahead of Jadon Sancho in the rankings. When questioned why Sancho wasn't there with the visiting team at the Emirates Stadium, the Red Devils manager was brutally forthcoming.

According to sources, Jadon Sancho's public outburst in response to his rejection by Arsenal has confused Erik ten Hag, manager of Manchester United. And things haven't turned out the way Ten Hag had hoped when he criticised Sancho's subpar training efforts following Sunday's loss.

A short time later, the 23-year-old winger responded on social media to Ten Hag's accusation that his "levels" weren't up to United's standards.

Sancho feels that he has been used as a "scapegoat," and he questions the Dutchman's true motivation for excluding him from the 3-1 loss.

The Mirror reported that Ten Hag thought Sancho would be inspired to fight for his future at Old Trafford by his post-game remarks.

However, the United No. 25's response to his challenge to improve astounded him, leading him to issue the bombshell message that had been posted on his X (previously Twitter) account for nearly a week.

According to the report, Ten Hag would not have prevented Sancho from leaving if the Saudi Pro League offer had developed prior to Thursday's transfer deadline.

Al Ettifaq, managed by Steven Gerrard, were considering making a late move but were prevented by United's demand for a £50 million obligation to buy.

Ten Hag, on the other hand, is rumoured to believe that everything will blow over and that the two can voice their complaints in private.

Nevertheless, he will stand by his blunt criticism of Sancho and will continue to be cognizant of the fact that players cannot so casually challenge his authority.

After slipping below Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho this campaign, Sancho could find himself pushed further down Ten Hag's wing selection order.

Amad Diallo is yet to make a comeback from a preseason injury, and Facundo Pellistri has remained at Old Trafford past the transfer window.
