After getting into a public conflict with the coach of Manchester United Erik ten Hag following the match against London's Arsenal, Jadon Sancho refused to move to Saudi Arabia.

The 23-year-old Englishman reacted on social media to the coach's comments that the footballer did not play in the match against Arsenal due to poor performances in training. J. Sancho responded to these comments by saying that he always becomes the scapegoat.

Immediately after the conflict, the Man Utd executives started looking for ways to sell the winger. Although the transfer window in Europe had already closed, it was still open in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

The Athletic reported that J. Sancho wanted to be part of a Saudi Arabian club willing to pay around £65 million for his transfer. However, the player rejected this offer himself.

It is also mentioned that J. Sancho was often late for training sessions last season, and E. ten Hag tried to solve this by instructing the player to arrive an hour earlier than others. However, this tactic only worked for some time.

It is not yet clear what lies ahead for the 23-year-old Englishman, but on Tuesday he removed the controversial post from social media.
