Jadon Sancho’s exclusion from Manchester United’s first team continues, with the England international still not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans for the day.
United’s manager confirmed yesterday that Sancho will no longer be part of the squad and has also not returned to first-team training after being forced to train with the club’s academy after refusing to apologize for a social media post.
“That’s up to him,” Ten Hag said. “For the rest, we are preparing for Burnley and that is our goal.
“He won’t make the team.”
United face Burnley later today, and Ten Hag added that there could be returns for Mason Mount, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, with Sofyan Amrabat possibly in line to make his debut. The quartet has suffered from injury problems recently.

Man City Premier League charges discussed by UK government and Abu Dhabi
The British government has admitted its embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in London have discussed accusations made against Manchester City by the Premier League, but are refusing to release the correspondence because it could endanger relations of the United Kingdom with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In February, the Premier League brought 115 charges against City, linked to a series of alleged financial rule breaches between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.
City are accused by the Premier League of failing to provide accurate financial information, “particularly in relation to its revenues (including sponsorship revenues), related parties and operating costs”.
The club denies the allegations and, in a previous statement, pointed to “an irrefutable body of evidence” that would clear them of any wrongdoing.
