  • Former Manchester United player Alan Brazil has made some damaging allegations about Erik ten Hag
  • Ten Hag has been on the spot over his handling of disciplinary issues at Manchester United
  • Jadon Sancho is currently exiled from first-team training after failing to apologise to the Dutch tactician

An unsettling rumour emanating from the Manchester United dressing room has added a new twist to the saga surrounding Jadon Sancho at the club.

Sancho is currently exiled from first-team training after he fell out with head coach Erik ten Hag on September 3.

The England international was left out of the squad that travelled to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal. Afterwards, ten Hag confirmed that the winger was fit for selection but opted not to choose him as he had not done enough in the training sessions.

Sancho then publicly called out his manager in a hard-hitting statement on Twitter, which he has since pulled down. It has been reported that the former Borussia Dortmund star refused to apologise to ten Hag, which has led to his prolonged exclusion from the side.

Alan Brazil: United players against ten Hag

Former Manchester United player turned TalkSport pundit Alan Brazil has now made some damaging allegations which he says were said by a member of the current playing team.

"This is only what I heard, a Man Utd player told someone I know very well that they are not having the manager. They're not having him, definitely not. They're disgusted at the way he treated Cristiano and they say Sancho is a great guy who works his socks off."

Club legend Cristiano Ronaldo was the first player to get into ten Hag's crosshairs. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner then conducted an explosive interview with Piers Morgan before his contract was eventually terminated by the club.

If Brazil's source is correct, ten Hag will have a bigger job to try and keep the squad together ahead of a sticky set of fixtures to come. They play their town rivals in the Manchester derby before facing FC Copenhagen in a double-header looking to resuscitate their Champions League hopes.

Sancho set for Manchester United exit

Sports Brief earlier reported that there is every chance that Jadon Sancho could depart Old Trafford during the upcoming transfer window.

This is according to Sky Sports Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg, who has claimed that Sancho could leave on loan.

A reunion with Dortmund has been described as 'very unlikely', with the Man United star understood to be keen on playing regularly.
