Sancho disputes Ten Hag's reason for Man United benching

Jadon Sancho hit back at claims by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag that he was dropped for the team's Premier League defeat at Arsenal for poor training performances, saying he has been "made a scapegoat."

Sancho, 23, was left out of the match day squad for the trip to the Emirates, which United lost 3-1, and Ten Hag said after the game that the winger had failed to measure up to standards in training this week.

"On his performance on training we didn't select him," Ten Hag said when asked about Sancho's absence from the squad.
