Erik ten Hag warns Manchester United players to accept being dropped
Manager: ‘This season will be survival of the fittest’Unclear if Jadon Sancho available after ear infection
Erik ten Hag has warned his Manchester United players to accept being dropped from the matchday squad and that they must remain motivated to contribute when required.
The manager left Jadon Sancho out of last September’s trip to Arsenal, causing the player to challenge the decision publicly. The situation led to Sancho’s departure to Borussia Dortmund on loan, although he is now back in Ten Hag’s plans. The 24-year-old was left out of the 1-0 opening day win over Fulham because of an ear infection, Ten Hag explained after the game.
