Eric Ten Hag's 'Issues' with Jadon Sancho leaves him out of the bench

Amidst speculations of a potential transfer to Paris Saint Germain or Juventus, British winger Jordan Sancho travelled with Manchester United to their second game of the season against Brighton but found himself out of the bench at the Amex stadium. 

 Manchester United's Coach Eric Tension Hag insisted that the Winger Sancho must compete for his place in the team. Sancho travelled with Manchester United to face Seagulls on Saturday due to a shortage of options.

Eric landed an unchanged eleven and bench from a 1-0 victory against Fulham past week. Sancho, who missed the season opener against Fulham on account of illness, didn't manage to get any minutes on the field against Brighton. 

Ten Hag, in an interview with TNT Sports, revealed the reason for Sancho's absence. Eric mentioned that there were "some issues " and hence he had to make a choice.
