Ten Hag: Rashford, Sancho rule breaks different

Erik ten Hag says punishments handed out to Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho following indiscretions were different because “Jadon chose to go public.”

Rashford is available for Manchester United‘s Premier League fixture against Wolves on Thursday after clear-the-air talks with Ten Hag on Monday following the England forward’s ill-advised trip to Belfast last week.

Sancho, meanwhile, is currently on loan at former club Borussia Dortmund after publicly questioning Ten Hag’s reasons for dropping him from the squad for a game at Arsenal in September.

Sancho was forced to train alone for more than four months while Rashford trained as normal with his teammates on Monday and Ten Hag says the differing approaches came down to Sancho’s now-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter.

“We can sort out everything internally. Jadon chose to go public,” said Ten Hag.
