Sancho, Antony, Greenwood? Off-field dramas threatening to sink Manchester United

Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho has deactivated his Instagram this morning amid his exile from the Manchester United squad.

Sancho deleting his Instagram is another sign that the feud between him and Erik Ten Hag is not going to end yet.

The pair fell out after Ten Hag dropped Sancho from the first-team squad for an apparent lack of effort in training.

After the comments from his head coach, Sancho took to Instagram, claiming that he was being used as a 'scapegoat' by Ten Hag and that fans shouldn't believe everything they hear.

Since then, Sancho has refused to apologize for his comments, leaving him training with the youth team and out of the matchday squad since United's win over Nottingham Forest at the end of August.

The Professional Footballers Association has offered to step in and help the pair reconcile, but with no apology, Ten Hag will look to ship Sancho out in January for a cut price.

The Jadon Sancho saga is just another piece of drama that has flared up in the Manchester United camp this season, with the drama off the field affecting the results on it.

Before the Sancho issues, United winger Antony had also been away from the squad after his allegations of domestic abuse against his ex-girlfriend Gabriella Cavallin.

Antony faces four separate alleged attacks against his former girlfriend and also faces accusations of assault against a bank manager in Manchester in September last year.

Another woman did claim Antony had assaulted her in her car, but she dropped the claims last week. The Antony situation couldn't have come at a worse time for Manchester United after the investigation into their former striker Mason Greenwood.

The club held its own investigation into Mason Greenwood after his case was dropped by the court for allegations of serious sexual assault.

The club ruled that Greenwood was innocent and he has been shipped on loan to Getafe CF in La Liga, with the club still helping Greenwood in his reemergence into professional football.

The recent drama that has caused friction between the fans, owners, and players has been noticed on the pitch, with the team struggling with the lack of attacking options and not winning as many games.

United sit in midtable of the Premier League, winning three and losing three, with two of those wins coming against Wolves and Burnley, who have five points between them.

As well as Antony and Sancho being missing, United also have eight first-team players out injured, with Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and Harry Maguire being the main players missing.

Erik Ten Hag has dealt with several issues in his short time in Manchester, but after the success last season, Ten Hag can be the right man to steer United away from this drama.
