Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has hit out at Jadon Sancho for his petulant attack on Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag.
The England international was surprisingly left out of the Man Utd squad for the trip to take on Arsenal in yesterday’s Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.
When asked about Sancho’s absence in his post-match press conference, Ten Hag pulled no punches, insisting that the 23-year-old had not trained well enough to be involved for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Sancho then released a statement via social media insisting that United fans shouldn’t believe what they read, essentially accusing Ten Hag of lying about his reasons for dropping him.
It’s fair to say Foster wasn’t at all impressed with Sancho’s reaction…

Foster says Sancho would never have survived at United under Sir Alex Ferguson, and accused him of being overly emotional and causing a media storm as a result of his poor attitude.
Ten Hag may well be proven wrong on Sancho, but as the manager of the club he is surely entitled to ask for more from his players without being accused of anything more sinister than that.
Watched the United Stand video and Ben Foster was bang on, Sancho is bang out of order. He should have kept his mouth shut and slept on it, then before the next session have a private conversation with Ten Hag and the coaches and asked “What do I need to do to get in this team? What am I not doing right?”.
The manager as well should have kept his mouth shut ?? The reputation of the player is at steak in this social media age why is the manager making suck a public rebuke if if a player who has always kept quiet off social media . Please if you support this coach you’re “ spineless” good on Sancho
Sancho is 100% right to speak the truth because we all know since this manager come he only buy he’s ex players and conderm the once that are in the team. what is Anthony doing in this team is sancho not better than anthony? its better we know the truth. if he can sign Evans back ? Anthony need to be bench since.
