Why is Sancho not in the United squad?

This weekend's Spanish friendly double-header, against Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, will be shown live on the United App, MUTV and ManUtd.com.

Erik ten Hag has confirmed Jadon Sancho will miss Manchester United’s pre-season friendly with Atletico Madrid due to sickness.

“Overnight he got sick, so he is not available,” the Reds boss told MUTV.

Sancho has enjoyed a terrific run of form in pre-season, lethally scoring in victories over Liverpool and Crystal Palace. He also netted a cracking volley in the draw with Aston Villa last time out.

The skilful Englishman will be replaced by another exciting young talent in Oslo.
