Gary Lineker slams Man United hypocrisy as Jadon Sancho ‘risks disciplinary action’

Gary Lineker has questioned Manchester United‘s treatment of Jadon Sancho, as the row surrounding the forward’s absence from Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Arsenal intensifies.

Erik ten Hag left the 23-year-old out of his matchday squad for the trip to North London, citing poor performance in training during the run-up to the game.

But Sancho has vociferously questioned Ten Hag’s explanation, taking to Twitter to bemoan his treatment and claim that he had “been a scapegoat for a long time”.

The England international’s outburst could see him face the wrath of United, with the Guardian reporting that ‘disciplinary action’ is a possibility as the Red Devils backed Ten Hag.
