Sancho absence for Man Utd friendly defeat explained

Jadon Sancho was missing for Manchester United's friendly defeat to Atletico Madrid in Oslo.

The winger was forced after being laid low by a bug.

“Overnight he got sick, so he is not available," the Reds boss told MUTV.

Sancho has enjoyed a terrific run of form in pre-season, lethally scoring in victories over Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

He also netted a volley in the draw with Aston Villa last time out.
