  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Reports in Germany have since claimed that Sancho's gaming habits have resulted in limited sleep, and affected his time with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Ten Hag opted against responding to such rumours, but he has claimed that the 23-year-old is in control of his own destiny at Old Trafford.

• WHAT THEY SAID

  Sancho has deleted his Instagram account and the United boss was asked whether such a step could improve the forward's chances of returning to the team.

  He said: "I don't know, it's up to him. I don't comment on players who are not available."
