Erik ten Hag has explained why Jadon Sancho was not included in Manchester United’s squad to face Brighton.

‘He’s here [at the stadium], but I had a choice to make,’ Ten Hag told TNT Sports before the Premier League clash.

‘We had some issues, we need a full squad. He’s one of them. He has to compete in his position.

‘Game-by-game we will have a look. We need two players in every position because it is a long season.’
