Manchester United stars Antony and Jadon Sancho have been warned that considered one of their team-mates may drive them to be dropped by Erik ten Hag and turn out to be the newest gamers to face the Dutchman’s axe. Ten Hag has proven his ruthless aspect on a number of events since arriving at Old Trafford a 12 months in the past and continues to mould the squad into his picture.

Eric Bailly turned the latest player to suffer the Ten Hag cull, having been not noted of the membership’s pre-season tour squad of the US. He has been left at dwelling after spending final season on mortgage with Marseille and is deemed surplus to necessities.

The Ivorian has nearly actually performed his final sport for the membership, however regardless of having a 12 months left on his United contract - and the choice to increase it an extra 12 months - Ten Hag didn't deem it crucial to place him within the store window on their travels stateside and as an alternative has seemingly axed him from the first-team image.

It will not be the primary time Ten Hag has made a brutal name, as final 12 months in response to The Sun, 5 gamers had been informed to depart the dressing room as there was not sufficient area for Phil Jones, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe, Teden Mengi and Shola Shoretire. Jones and Tuanzebe have since left United, with Bailly anticipated to observe of their footsteps.

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has warned that the emergence of Alejandro Garnacho may see each Sancho and Antony equally out of the group. “I really like him,” Agbonlahor informed Football Insider when requested in regards to the Argentine sensation.

“He’s such a talented winger. And Man United need that. I must admit, I’d totally forgotten about him during his injury last season. But United need that competition for places. I think he can take the fight for that right-wing slot.

“He’ll pile the pressure on Antony and on Sancho to take that spot because [Marcus] Rashford will have that left side locked down. I can see him breaking into the side, keeping Antony and Sancho out, and scoring a lot of goals for Man United.”

While it's unlikely that Antony and Sancho would undergo the identical exile as their previous and current team-mates, they may very well be confronted with being dropped if Garnacho can carry out on the proper. Sancho spent intensive time away from the group final 12 months as he was given go away by Ten Hag after the World Cup, however his future stays doubtful having to date did not stay as much as expectations.

Antony had a greater first season within the Premier League however he nonetheless has his doubters, and could also be compelled to look over his shoulder with Garnacho gunning for extra enjoying time having confirmed to be a livewire throughout his breakout marketing campaign.
