Erik Ten Hag further added “At Manchester United you have to reach a level every day and you have to make choices in the frontline. He was not selected for this game.” Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Sancho said: “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people to say things that are 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.
