Erik ten Hag remains concerned with the attitudes \u2018of at least a couple\u2019 of Manchester United players, having exiled Jadon Sancho.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The Dutchman has earned a reputation as a tough disciplinarian during the course of his first 18 months at the Old Trafford helm with the England winger the latest to feel his wrath.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag has initially been sympathetic towards Sancho\u2019s struggles off the pitch but his patience appears to have warn thin having banned him from using all first team facilities until he receives an apology from the \u00a372million winger. <\/p>\n
Sancho was left out of the matchday squad for United\u2019s 3-1 defeat at Arsenal earlier this month having failed to live up to his manager\u2019s expectations in training. <\/p>\n
The 23-year-old has only recently deleted his social media post in which he took issue with his manager\u2019s claims but he will not be welcomed back into the fold until an apology is forthcoming. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sancho\u2019s punishment and the severity of it has reportedly been questioned by several United players but Ten Hag hopes his banishment will act as a warning to anyone else who steps out of line. <\/p>\n
ESPN, however, report that the former Ajax boss still harbours reservations about several members of his first team squad who are not 100% on board with his methods. <\/p>\n
Two successive wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace have helped ease the pressure that was building around Ten Hag and former United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes the 52-year-old has handled the Sancho situation perfectly.<\/p>\n
The Betfair Ambassador said: \u2018When you know you\u2019re not producing, you can be angry with yourself and your manager and this can lead to a bust-up like this.<\/p>\n
\u2018The manager makes the decisions, though, and if Sancho doesn\u2019t apologise to Ten Hag publicly or privately and understands his mistake the right way. Once he\u2019s done that, he needs to earn his place in the team \u2013 and the only way to do that is by training harder and playing well when the chance arises.\u2019<\/p>\n
