Jadon Sancho is running out of Manchester United excuses (Manchester Evening News)

Man Utd's Jadon Sancho was poor again at Chelsea and Erik ten Hag brought him off shortly after half-time.

This was supposed to be the season that Sancho truly showed what he is capable of, not the campaign which really tested supporters' patience with him. His performances have regressed, he has stopped doing what made him the talk of Europe and he's now running out of excuses in his second season at Old Trafford. Sancho was on the bench again for Omonia at home but he returned to the lineup against Newcastle. Sancho was anonymous against Manchester City, lacklustre and devoid of creativity against Omonia in Cyprus and he was finally dropped to the bench at Goodison Park. It's frustrating to watch Sancho and Ten Hag felt that at Stamford Bridge. Ten Hag has not been afraid to make big decisions during his premiership and hauling a player off just minutes after half-time was a statement of his authority.
