Jadon Sancho has finally left Manchester United following his public spat with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

Sancho's row with Erik ten Hag divided Manchester United dressing room, including United fans. Sources close United dressing room revealed some Man United players have asked Jadon Sancho to apologize to Erik ten Hag while others have been put off by ten Hag's iron-hand man-management approach which led to the fallout.

At the core of Sancho's dispute with Erik ten Hag were reports that he attends training late and doesn't live up to the standards of discipline as laid down by Erik ten Hag.

Former Manchester United player Nemanja Matic sent social media buzzing with reactions when he identified Jadon Sancho and Paul Pogba as two players who always turned up late for training at Carrington while he was at the club.

However, former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has disputed such a report. In a viral quote on social media, Rangnick, who took charge of Manchester United from 2021 to 2022, said Jadon Sancho was always prompt and had never reported late for drills and training.

"Jadon Sancho was among my best players. He was always prompt to training and had not attended training sessions late," Ralf Rangnick told Sky Germany

Sancho has left Manchester United for a short-term loan deal with his former club Borussia Dortmund. The 23-year-old got off the mark for Dortmund with a bang. Coming on as a 55th-minute substitute, Sancho provided the assist that saw Marco Reus score Borussia Dortmund's second goal in their 3-0 away over Darmstadt on Saturday.

The right-winger will be hoping to put up an impressive shift with Dortmund and possibly secure a permanent move with the club when his loan tenure expires.
