United lost that game 3-1 and Sancho swiftly posted a statement on social media in defiance of his coach after Ten Hag said the winger hadn&#8217;t trained well enough.<\/p>\n<p>United then released a statement saying Sancho would be training alone due to a discipline issue and Ten Hag later said that there was &#8216;no good culture&#8217; at the club when he took over last year.<\/p>\n<p>Watt, who is enjoying his first season involved in Burnley&#8217;s ownership, offered his own theories about the mood at the club after an 11-year NFL career with the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on NBC Sports, he said: &#8216;You look at the Jadon situation right now, it gets talked about (in the locker room), you can&#8217;t just ignore it. The way that has played out so publicly, there has to be something going on behind the scenes there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/07\/15\/76277371-0-image-a-14_1696688678450.jpg\" height=\"391\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>JJ Watt, a Burnley minority owner, offered his theories about Jadon Sancho at Man United\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;To have a coach speak so openly about that situation means he has tried many different ways behind the scenes and it hasn&#8217;t worked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It happens a little bit (in the NFL) but like I said, if it gets to a point where the coach is speaking publicly, that means everything has gone on behind the scenes, people have had those conversations, and now it has boiled up to a whole new high.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Watt, 34, believes the United team is lacking cohesion this season, after three wins from eight league games and two losses in the Champions League.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You have the allure and everything to bring in the greatest players in the world &#8211; it all comes down to it all gelling together,&#8217; Watt said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That seems to be a little bit of the issue, the chemistry of the team. But I&#8217;m also sitting here as a guy who lost 1-0 to them a couple of weeks ago!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>When asked why Sancho was not selected for Manchester United&#8217;s clash with Arsenal at the time of the fixture, Ten Hag said: &#8216;Jadon, on his performances in training we did not select him.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Sancho was furious with Ten Hag&#8217;s comments and took to social media to say: &#8216;Please don&#8217;t believe everything you read! I will not allow people to say things that are completely untrue. I have conducted myself in training very well this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won&#8217;t go into, I&#8217;ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn&#8217;t fair!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to the team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and I am grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>United plays Brentford at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, while Watt&#8217;s Burnley team host Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley is 17th at present, a place outside of the Premier League relegation zone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12605161\/NFL-Burnley-JJ-Watt-Erik-ten-Hag-Jadon-Sancho-Manchester-United.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>NFL great and Burnley owner JJ Watt insists Erik ten Hag&#8217;s public row with Jadon Sancho at Manchester United shows problems behind the scenes &#8211;
