Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag explained that the punishments given to Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho for infractions were different because “Jadon chose to go public.”

Sancho, meanwhile, has returned to his previous club Borussia Dortmund on loan after publicly challenging Ten Hag’s decision to withdraw him from the squad for a game against Arsenal in September.

Ten Hag has now stated that the differing approach was due to Sancho’s now-deleted remark on X, formerly Twitter.
“We can resolve anything inside. “Jadon chose to go public,” Ten Hag explained.
