Sancho wasn't named in Manchester United's squad to face Arsenal at the Emirates on September 3 and although most suspected he was absent through illness, an explanation for his omission was given in the post-match press conference.
"On his performance on training we didn't select him," Ten Hag said when asked about Sancho. "You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.
"You can make choices in the front line, so in this game he wasn't selected."
Within hours of the dust settling on that game, Sancho responded: "Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue.
"I have conducted myself in training very well this week."
It didn't take long for that to go viral on X, formerly Twitter, and Sancho pinned the post in defiance. He finally deleted his statement nine days later and it was confirmed he was banished from the first team.
Sancho has remained on a personal training programme away from the group since and there's still been no resolution found, which suggests there will be only one, inevitable outcome: his time at Old Trafford looks to be over.
