Things are getting messy inside Manchester United. The relationship between Jadon Sancho and Erik Ten Hag has become more complicated after Sancho's public statement. Meanwhile, Brazilian winger Antony has been accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend. Similar things happened with Man United's young talent Mason Greenwood. Now Manchester United have to deal with these two players, Jadon Sancho and Antony.

Is Sancho's time up?

Erik Ten Hag has earned a reputation for maintaining a strong discipline inside the club. We've seen Man United didn't hesitate to terminate the contract with Cristiano Ronaldo after the player talked against the club and the manager. Erik Ten Hag also dropped Marcus Rashford for being late in the training. The manager also changed the captain's armband and let David De Gea leave the club. In general, Ten Hag doesn't allow any players to break the rule. Erik Ten Hag dropped Jadon Sancho in the match against Arsenal, where the Gunners cruised past Man United with a 3-1 margin. While asked about the reason behind dropping Sancho, the manager replied, "Jadon, on his performances in training we did not select him." "You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected," the manager stated. Jadon Sancho made a strong response, saying he has been a " SCAPEGOAT" For a long time. On his verified Twitter account, Sancho wrote, "Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week." "I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won't go into, I've been a scapegoat for a long time which isn't fair! All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team." https://twitter.com/Sanchooo10/status/1698417915429531942?s=20 There is no doubt that Erik Ten Hag won't be happy with Sancho's comment. Sancho hasn't been in the starting XI for Man United this season so far. Since joining Man United, Jadon Sancho has scored only nine goals in his 58 Premier League appearances for Man United. Man United tried to sell him during the summer transfer window but failed. Now it is time to see what action Man United would take against Sancho for his public statement.

Antony's Situation

Once again, a Man United player has been accused of abusing a woman. It is Brazilian winger Antony, who has been accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend. As a result, Brazil's Football Federation dropped Antony for their upcoming games as the investigation continues. However, Manchester United haven't taken any actions yet. As the international break is going on, the club prefers to wait. On the other hand, Antony has denied all the allegations leveled against him. Antony stated, “Out of respect for my fans, friends, and family I feel obligated to speak publicly about the false accusations I have been a victim of. From the beginning, I have handled this issue seriously and with respect, providing the due clarifications to the police authority. The police inquest is under cover of justice, and therefore I cannot make its content public." "However, I can say with confidence that the accusations are false and that the evidence already produced and more to be produced show that I am innocent of the accusations made," Antony added.
