Former Premier League striker Darren Bent believes that Jadon Sancho 'has had enough' of Manchester United.
The England winger hit back at Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman clarified that Sancho had been omitted from the squad to face Arsenal before the international break due to poor training performances.
Sancho fired on social media: "Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue. 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, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!"

This was the latest episode in a long list of incidents since Sancho's arrival at Old Trafford in 2021. It's fair to say that the 23-year-old hasn't come to grips with life at Man Utd and Darren Bent thinks that this is why Sancho reacted in the manner he did.
What did Bent say?
Speaking on talkSPORT, Bent said: "If he had the intention of staying at Manchester United, of wanting to stay at the club, or had a burning desire to stay, you do it in-house."
"You go to the manager's office and you say, 'listen, I don't really like what you did there. If my training standards are not good enough, then just tell me' - which I'm sure he's told him before - 'and we will try and deal with it.'"

"But the fact he went so public tells me he wants out of there. He's had enough. Maybe the challenge is too big for him, which is a shame because he's got a lot of ability, he's got talent. Maybe the Premier League is too quick for him."
"I never like managers coming out and criticising their players publicly because it never ends well. I think about [Jose] Mourinho with [Paul] Pogba, Mourinho with Luke Shaw, I never think it ends well. Ultimately, someone ends up leaving the club - sometimes the manager - but the relationship, you never ever get that player back."
