The end is nigh for Jadon Sancho after what happened to the last three Manchester United players who were exiled

A sheepish Jadon Sancho attempted to conceal his face as he drove into Carrington on Thursday afternoon. Deleting his impetuous Twitter post cannot save face.

Whoever is advising Sancho - and his 110-word statement had the makings of PR assistance - they have torched a Manchester United career.

Sancho cannot play for United again. He should not have a leg to stand on after publicly accusing the manager of lying and Erik ten Hag has taken the right decision to banish him.

United have a shortage of right-sided forwards for Brighton's visit on Saturday and some of Sancho's acolytes might have delusionally hoped for a recall. No chance.

Removing a post is no form of apology. Sancho had to show public contrition and he has not done so. Twelve days ago, Sancho signed off his statement with: "I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!" Clearly not.

Sancho knew the score. He saw how Ten Hag handled Cristiano Ronaldo when he transgressed and he still not only published an incendiary statement but pinned it to his Twitter profile.

Ten Hag wants players to take accountability and too many modern players are incapable of that. Sancho is one of them.

His timekeeping was an issue at Borussia Dortmund and his training form restricted him to six minutes at the European Championship in 2021 prior to the quarter-final. More fool United for lacking due diligence.

Ten Hag has restored authority to the United manager's role that eroded over a four-year period. You hoped for Ten Hag's sake that Sancho was not Joel Glazer's favourite player. That spared Anthony Martial from being sold in 2018. Martial
