Earlier in September 2023, Erik Ten Hag accused the midfielder of not giving his best in training which was the reason why he was dropped against Arsenal. He responded when asked in a post-match press conference why Jadon Sancho was not available against the Gunners.
“Jadon was [absent] on his performance on the training.
We didn’t select him. You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices on the frontline, so for this game, he was not selected.”
