Man United stars have 'backed Jadon Sancho' and turned against Erik ten Hag after source's reveal - pundit

Man United players are turning against Erik ten Hag amid his dispute with Jadon Sancho.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former West Ham striker Frank McAvennie suggested the relationship between Sancho and Ten Hag is broken beyond repair but claimed his United teammates are rallying in support of the player.

On Monday (9 October), Football Insider revealed that the 23-year-old has still not apologised to Ten Hag following comments made about the boss on social media and he continues to be exiled from the first team.

The Red Devils are open to letting Sancho leave the club in January, with a loan move the most likely option, as he continues to train away from the first team.

McAvennie suggested that Sancho’s teammates have not turned against the winger.

“I think the United players have backed Sancho,” he told Football Insider.

“It sounded as though he has been flung to the wolves and he is the one getting the blame of it.

“You can’t have an argument with your manager on social media, there is only one winner in that situation and unfortunately you cannot do that.

“He has not kicked a ball recently anyway. What a talent he is and he has not done it. It is not anyone’s fault but his own. If you are not putting the work in in training then you are not playing.

“I think it is irretrievable between the two of them now.“
