Erik Ten Hag has explained why Jadon Sancho isn't in his Manchester United team for their match against Brighton.
The Dutch manager kept the starting lineup and bench from last week's 1-0 victory over Fulham.
However, Sancho was not even listed as a reserve player, leaving fans thinking there might have been another issue.
This implies that Sancho, who is rumoured to have missed the Fulham match due to illness, missed the opportunity to play potentially meaningful minutes once more.
