As the reports go, an apology has been mandated by Erik ten Hag from the player’s side. Unless Jadon Sancho apologizes, he won’t be further permitted to be involved in any of the first team activities. But, United’s number twenty-five is not yet ready to apologize, despite feeling bad about the restrictions imposed on him.
