Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has deleted his tweet directed at manager Erik ten Hag.
Sancho was not included in the United squad for their Premier League fixture against Arsenal.
After the game, Ten Hag said that the 23-year-old was dropped due to poor performance in training sessions.
Sancho immediately fired back with a post on X, calling the comments ‘untrue’ and accusing Ten Hag of making him a ‘scapegoat’.
The England international has now removed that bombshell social media post.
According to the Guardian, Sancho’s decision to delete the post from X is viewed as a positive move by the club.
Man United must resolve this controversy soon
There were always going to be two ways to end this controversy.
The first option was Ten Hag axing Sancho from the squad and forcing him to leave Man United.
The second was for the winger to delete his post and resolve the matter internally with the manager.
Ten Hag would likely be asked questions on this controversy in his pre-match press conference.
With Antony handed a ‘leave of absence’, Sancho has a crucial role to play.
He and Facundo Pellistri are the only two right-wingers available at this moment.
Ten Hag has backed Sancho several times in the last year. He also gave him a break in the middle of the season so the youngster could improve mentally and physically.
It is high time the former Borussia Dortmund man proves his worth to the manager and United fans.
