Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag reportedly has no attention in softening his stance in his stand-off with Jadon Sancho.

Sancho has been exiled from the first-team setup following a public falling-out over Ten Hag's decision to leave the winger out of the club's defeat to Arsenal earlier this month.

Ten Hag told reporters after the contest that Sancho had been omitted from the matchday squad due to the player's poor performance in training.

Sancho took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to say he has been a "scapegoat for a long time".

Although Sancho has since deleted the social media post, he has refused to apologise to Ten Hag about his public statement.

According to Sky Sports News, Ten Hag has no plans to back down in his ongoing stand-off with the former Borussia Dortmund man.

The report claims that Ten Hag cannot allow his authority as Man United manager to be undermined by one of his players.

Several of Sancho's teammates, including England trio Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire, have allegedly urged the 23-year-old to apologise.

With the situation currently at a stalemate, Sancho has been offered support by the Professional Footballer's Association.

As it stands, Sancho is continuing to work away from the first-team squad and is currently undergoing an individual training programme.

The Englishman has reportedly been banned from using the first-team facilities at the club's Carrington training complex.

Sancho, who last appeared against Nottingham Forest on August 26, has failed to produce his best form since arriving from Dortmund in the summer of 2021.

During his time with the Red Devils, Sancho has mustered 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances across all competitions.
