Why Are Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho Not Training With Man Utd Senior Team?

At a time when Manchester United is going through turbulent times, head coach Ruben Amorim has made a significant decision by dropping some promising youngsters, including Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho, from the first team. Citing disciplinary issues and the creation of a hostile and toxic environment within the Man United camp, the Portuguese manager has taken a significant step to restore unity and a healthy dressing room atmosphere at Old Trafford. The Red Devils had a terrible domestic season, finishing just two spots above the relegation zone and failing to clinch the UEFA Europa League after succumbing to a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

After Manchester United parted ways with Erik ten Hag, Ruben Amorim took over the reins of the club. The Premier League team has shown intent by signing Cunha and Mbeumo to bolster their attack. As reported, both Sancho and Garnacho have been relocated to the Manchester United U21 side and are not training with the senior squad.

When Was Jadon Sancho Previously Exiled at Man United?

The young English talent Jadon Sancho has previously been exiled under Erik ten Hag for disciplinary issues in training. He still has a year left on his contract, and United are keen on selling him even at low prices to clubs like Dortmund or Juventus. Many senior players in the club feel that Sancho isn't fit to play in this club anymore.

Garnacho, on the other hand, voiced his frustrations after failing to make it to the starting XI in the Europa League final against Spurs.

Garnacho's public criticism of United and posing himself in a Villa shirt after Rashford's switch was seen as disrespectful. Amorim even reportedly cautioned Garnacho that he might have to find a new club if he doesn't change his attitude.

What's Next for Sancho and Garnacho at Man United?

At present, Sancho and Garnacho don't seem to be in Amorim's senior team's plans for the 2025-26 season. The club is focused on building the team around Mbeumo and Cunha. Amorim has kept the doors of reintegration open if transfer talks are not met. Manchester United are leaving no stone unturned to revive their old golden days, and as the chief architect of the plan, Amorim doesn't seem shy to take big calls to restore unity and promote a healthy dressing room environment in the team. Manchester United will solely focus on the English Premier League and other domestic cups this season, as they failed to qualify for continental tournaments.
