Manchester United 'told high-profile pundits to STOP praising Jadon Sancho' during his Dortmund loan spell because it made them look bad

Manchester United told high-profile pundits to stop praising Jadon Sancho while he starred on loan at Borussia Dortmund, according to a report.

The 24-year-old fell out with Erik ten Hag after the then-Red Devils boss left him out of the squad that suffered a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal last September, due to his 'performance in training'.

Sancho hit back on social media, accusing his manager of making him a 'scapegoat', and Ten Hag responded by exiling the England international from his squad. Sancho was forced to train, eat and change on his own, and refused to apologise until the club eventually sanctioned a temporary move to his former club Dortmund.
