Manchester United hero Paul Ince has spoken about the Jadon Sancho situation this week.

The Red Devils are assessing how to handle the English winger, who publicly criticised coach Erik Ten Hag on social media.

Sancho was doing so in response to Ten Hag taking aim at him in a press conference, when he stated that Sancho performed poorly in training in the lead up to their Premier League clash with Arsenal.

"I remember, a few years back, speaking about the [Paul] Pogba situation with [Jose] Mourinho, that's not how you deal with things at Man United. Especially with Sir Alex Ferguson, things like this need to stay in-house to avoid adding fuel to the fire," Ince told LuckyBlock.com.

"The media were having a field day with the Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho situation. United haven't started well and Erik ten Hag knows that. The last thing you need at a club like United is to have this kind of distraction come out.

"It could've been dealt with very differently. Ten Hag has his ways but when you come out saying that 'Jadon's performance in training hasn't been great', it's not something that needs to be put out there.

"Then, worst of all, Sancho has replied back. This whole situation has blown up and Ten Hag could've dealt with it in a very different way. Sancho has been very inconsistent at Man United and I don't know who advised him to put the statement out.

"But I think he'll look back on it and feel a bit naive. When you're at United, you have to perform every day in training. There's no let off, that's the standard we set when we were at Old Trafford.

"Jadon should've knocked on the manager's door straight after seeing the comment and this whole situation could've been avoided."
