Jadon Sancho's strained relationship with Erik ten Hag
The 24-year-old winger was excluded from the first-team squad in September after a public dispute with Ten Hag.
The Dutch manager had criticised Sancho's training performances as subpar, a claim which Sancho publicly refuted on social media.
Per Goal, his refusal to apologise for his public comments resulted in his banishment from the first-team group, which led him to train alone before his loan move to Dortmund in January.

"As we said, we draw the line. Manchester United need good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line, and we move on," said Ten Hag, as quoted by MEN.
