According to The Sun (UK), coach Ten Hag recently expelled Jadon Sancho from MU's internal WhatsApp chat group.

This means the English striker will no longer have inside information that the Dutch strategist communicates to the first-team players about training or match plans.

Jadon Sancho was previously dropped from the first team squad and sent to train with the U21 youth team of MU. The 23-year-old striker was also banned from using any first team facilities and had to eat lunch in the canteen for players at the academy.

Sancho's punishment stems from the English striker publicly criticizing coach Ten Hag on social media in September. "I will not allow people to say things that are completely untrue, I have trained very well this week," Sancho criticized the Dutch strategist when he was removed from the match between MU and Arsenal on September 4 due to poor training.

Although Sancho deleted the post, coach Ten Hag still asked his student to make an official apology before considering changing the penalty. However, Jadon Sancho still showed a stubborn attitude and refused to apologize to the 53-year-old coach.

Despite many teammates advising Sancho to step back and apologize to coach Ten Hag to return to the first team, the 23-year-old striker completely ignored them. Therefore, many people believe that Sancho has played his last match in a MU shirt and will be liquidated in the upcoming January 2024 transfer window.

Internal instability combined with many player injuries are the reasons why MU had a bad start to the new season, when the club is in eighth place in the Premier League table after 11 rounds.

In the Champions League, coach Ten Hag's team is ranked third after 3 matches. The "Red Devils" lost both matches against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, then luckily won a narrow 1-0 victory against Copenhagen.

At 3am on November 9 (Vietnam time), MU will have a match at Copenhagen Stadium with the goal of winning in hopes of competing for a ticket to the knockout round.
