Jadon Sancho has deleted the explosive message he posted in the wake of Manchester United\u2019s defeat to Arsenal earlier this month in which he hit out at Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Player and manager were involved in a public spat last week when the Dutch coach claimed Sancho had not been included in his matchday squad at the Emirates due to his less-than-impressive performances in training.<\/p>\n
Later that evening, the 23-year-old took to social media platform X \u2013 formerly known as Twitter \u2013 to hit out at his manager\u2019s claims, saying he had been made a \u2018scapegoat\u2019.<\/p>\n
Sancho\u2019s outburst caused quite a stir and there were even suggestions United might try to offload the former Borussia Dortmund winger to Saudi Arabia before their transfer window closed.<\/p>\n
A move never materialised, however, and Sancho reported to the club\u2019s Carrington training base on Monday for the first time since the drama unfolded.<\/p>\n
Players not involved in international fixtures had been given time off after the Arsenal defeat, meaning Sancho and Ten Hag avoided a run-in until the start of this week.<\/p>\n
They are believed to have held crunch, clear-the-air talks to discuss Sancho\u2019s public outburst, their relationship and, ultimately, the winger\u2019s future at the club under Ten Hag.<\/p>\n

For now, Sancho appears to have climbed down and deleted his message on X late on Tuesday afternoon, with the tweet no longer anywhere to be seen. His most recent message is now a pre-season tweet from 6 August.<\/p>\n
Sancho has been included in United\u2019s Champions League squad despite the fallout while Antony\u2019s leave of absence has only heightened the need for Ten Hag to mend bridges given his lack of options on the right wing currently.<\/p>\n
Although Sancho has deleted his criticism of Ten Hag \u2013 and the pair have now spoken privately about the matter \u2013 he is still thought to be keen to leave Old Trafford and could explore a move when the January window opens.<\/p>\n
In the wake of Ten Hag saying his performances in training were not at the level required, Sancho had tweeted: \u2018Please don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won\u2019t go into, I\u2019ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn\u2019t fair! All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team.<\/p>\n
\u2018I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!\u2019<\/p>\n
