Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has been banned from all first-team facilities at Carrington training ground as the feud with manager Erik ten Hag escalates.
Sancho finds himself in a precarious situation due to his refusal to apologize to ten Hag for criticizing him in a now-deleted social media post.
Consequently, he has been relegated to training with the club’s academy teams, and his predicament has escalated further, as he is now denied access to senior squad facilities, including the dining room, the Mirror reports.
Sancho’s exile from the first-team ranks extends to meal times, where he is compelled to dine with youth team members as a form of punishment.
Ten Hag’s uncompromising disciplinary stance means that Sancho’s return to the fold hinges on his willingness to apologize and acknowledge his wrongdoing.
This ultimatum places the fate of Sancho’s future with the 13-time Premier League champions squarely in his hands.
However, the disgruntled player appears unwilling to seek resolution at this juncture, as he continues to maintain his distance from other first-team players and staff within the club.

Sancho’s dissatisfaction with Ten Hag’s recent actions, which restrict his access to the training ground, has resulted in an ongoing feud with no apparent end date.
Previous reports indicated that the 23-year-old consistently arrived late for training and failed to meet the standards expected by the United manager.
His timekeeping and attitude had also irked England national team staff during past appearances.
The current right-wing predicament in Ten Hag’s side presents an opportunity for Jadon Sancho to secure regular starting minutes if he can mend his relationship with the United boss.
With Antony unavailable due to off-field issues, Mason Greenwood on loan in La Liga, and Amad Diallo nursing a long-term injury, Facundo Pellistri is currently the only natural right-winger at Ten Hag’s disposal.
