Jadon Sancho calls out Manchester United for being hypocritical

Former Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho has lashed out against his club following his suspension. According to soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the player is not pleased with the situation. Sancho believes that the club and the manager are being partial to some players while dishing out punishments to others.

While speaking to the fans, Fabrizio said, “As for Jadon Sancho, the situation is very intense, not just with Erik ten Hag but also with the rest of the coaching staff. He believes that he is training at the top level and some of these rules at Manchester United are applied in different ways for different players. So Sancho feels like it’s always me, but for some other players, it is not the same.”
