Jadon Sancho Injury: According to Erik ten Hag, Jadon Sancho’s performance at practise prevented him from being selected for the team that lost to Arsenal on Sunday. The winger’s absence was noticeable when Manchester United’s starting lineup was revealed at the Emirates. The former Borussia Dortmund player was probably injured and left off the squad.
When questioned why Sancho didn’t play after the match, Ten Hag responded, “Jadon, on the basis of his performance in training, we didn’t select him.
“At Manchester United, you have to perform at a certain level every day, and you have to make decisions in the frontline. He wasn’t chosen for this game.
Ten Hag said that Scott McTominay’s absence from the matchday roster was due to illness. Meanwhile, despite making two center-back substitutes (Harry Maguire for Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez for Jonny Evans), United fell to Arsenal 3-1.
Victor had to leave because he was unwell, according to Ten Hag. “Licha said he has a problem with his foot, but I’m not sure if it’s an injury, and we have to see, have to make the diagnosis,” the doctor said.
Despite their best efforts, the Red Devils were unable to salvage anything from their North London game as Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored late goals. United’s lone goal came from Marcus Rashford at the 27:09 mark, but Martin Odegaard quickly erased the advantage.

Ten Hag insisted that he was happy with the show in spite of this.
In his words, “I’m here with a good feeling because our performance was very good, not perfect, and there is definitely room for improvement, but if we see the pressing, movement with the ball, counters on the ball, in possession was very calm.” We denied Arsenal any opportunities to exert pressure on us. They insisted we play, so we did.
“But we could have done that better to gain the next pass; there was potential for improvement in the next stage. The movement and the appropriate pass were responsible for that. Although there were many positives, there was still opportunity for development because it was still early in the season.
Jadon Sancho Injury
Jadon Sancho scored in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 victory over Cologne at the beginning of February, marking his comeback from an ankle ligament injury. The England U17 international got things going for Borussia’s U19s in a junior Revierderby match against Schalke and scored the game-winning goal in a 4-2 defeat for Borussia.
After sitting out games from October through December, United boss Erik ten Hag claimed in December that Sancho wasn’t ‘physically or emotionally’ prepared to play. However, the winger made a comeback this week in a 2-0 Carabao Cup triumph over Nottingham Forest.

Wow, he exclaimed. Just wanted to express my gratitude for everyone’s support over the past several weeks, especially the fans.
“I’m so happy to be back out on the pitch, see you soon,” the player said, “my focus is to give my all to my team and the club.”
Sancho joined the game as a replacement in the 63rd minute, and United went on to defeat Forest 5-0 overall.
