Jadon Sancho will not play for Man Utd this weekend and it is uncertain if he will ever play for them again.
Erik ten Hag admits he does not know if Jadon Sancho will play for Manchester United again and said the winger is currently "not important".
"I don’t know," Ten Hag said when asked if Sancho would play for United again. "I am sitting here. Tomorrow we have a big game, we are going into a new block of games, many games in a condensed programme. I focus on that. "I prepare my team the best I can, I put all my effort into the players who are available. He is not available, so in this moment, he is not important, because he can’t contribute."
Despite a turbulent fortnight in which United also arranged for Antony to take a leave of absence amid investigations in Brazil and by Greater Manchester Police over allegations of assault, Ten Hag was in an upbeat and relaxed mood during his pre-match press conference at Carrington, where he noted the number 14 on a journalist's shirt and enthused about his boyhood hero Johan Cruyff.
Ten Hag repeatedly stresses the importance of principles at United and highlighted its mention in a follow-up question. "You say something really important, but it’s in favour of the team.
