According to reports by The Mirror, Sancho's rebellion did not sit well with Ten Hag, who decided to take a firm stand against the player's public defiance.
Sancho's transgressions are not limited to the recent social media incident; club insiders have hinted at multiple instances where the winger turned up late for training.
“Sancho’s position at the club is precariously dangling. A player of his talent should be cementing his place in the starting XI, especially with Antony and Greenwood not in contention. But instead, he's making headlines off the pitch,” another source disclosed.

For United fans, the Sancho-Ten Hag dispute comes at an unfortunate time. With the right-wing position already facing uncertainty due to Antony's legal issues and Mason Greenwood's loan move, Sancho's talent would have been invaluable.
