Gareth Southgate limited Jadon Sancho’s England game-time because of his performances in training, a journalist has claimed.
Writing on X Luckhurst said: “Sancho's playing time at Euro 2020 was limited until the quarter-finals due to training form. Southgate confirmed that and said there was an improvement after Sancho's move to United was agreed.“Sancho entitled to feel aggrieved by Ten Hag persisting with Antony, who's been dreadful, and Martial starting ahead of him. But it's a dire state at #mufc that players are emboldened to publicly call out the manager.
Explaining his decision not to pick Sancho for his squad to face Arsenal, Ten Hag said:"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." In response, Sancho insisted he would continue to fight for his place at the club, adding:"All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team."I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge.
