Ten Hag reveals Garnacho apology after forward supported critical tweets

Erik ten Hag claimed Manchester United's squad is not fractured after revealing Alejandro Garnacho apologised for liking social media posts criticising the manager's handling of the Argentine forward.

Sancho was exiled to train away from the rest of the United squad for several months after criticising Ten Hag for leaving him out of a defeat at Arsenal in September.

England winger Sancho has since found his form on loan at Borussia Dortmund, who made it through to the Champions League semi-finals this week.

"We know Jadon Sancho is a fantastic football player, so that is not a surprise for us, that is not the issue," Ten Hag said.
