After being told by Ten Hag that his training performances were the reason for his omission from the matchday squad to face Arsenal, Sancho fired back on social media. “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue," he wrote, "I have conducted myself in training very well this week."

"I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into," the 23-year-old continued, "I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!"

Despite his row with Ten Hag, according to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, "Jadon Sancho is definitely not planning a contract termination!"

There have, however, been some suggestions that might be an option for the Englishman.

He was also denied a move to Chelsea during the summer window as the Blues believed his mentality was an issue. They signed Cole Palmer instead.

Harry Maguire to Saudi Arabia?

Fabrizio Romano has sought to put to bed any and all rumours regarding Harry Maguire's future.

The former Manchester United captain was the subject of intense transfer speculation over the summer after he lost his place in the side.

According to Romano, it is highly unlikely that Maguire will depart for Saudi Arabia or Turkey given that Man Utd cannot sign a replacement until January.

"Many questions on Harry Maguire," Romano said on his YouTube channel, "why he was not on the pitch [from the start] against Arsenal, why the manager decided to go for someone like Lindelof who was ill - guys, the situation of Harry Maguire, at the moment, is not linked to the transfer market."

"So, nothing is ongoing with any of the clubs who still have the market open in different continents or different countries. So, at the moment, everything is quiet around Maguire...

"Man Utd confirmed the player will stay at least until the January transfer window."

Stock Price DROP

Man Utd’s share price has fallen to its lowest amount in history following the Glazers’ U-turn about selling the club.

The current owners of Man Utd put the club up for sale in late 2022, but have not yet agreed a deal to sell the club, despite interest from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim.

Now, the Red Devils have suffered a punishing day in the stock market and their shares are at an all-time low. Sky Sports News have reported that upon the close of the New York stock exchange on 5 September, Man Utd’s shares are now priced at $19.35.

That is down a record 18.22% in a single day. It is the biggest drop since Man Utd went public in 2012 and means that more than £600 million has been wiped off the club’s market value.
