Sancho\u00a0claims he has been made a \u2018scapegoat\u2019 by Ten Hag\u00a0after being axed from the squad which lost at Arsenal\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n
His comments came after Ten Hag revealed publicly that Sancho had been omitted on account of his poor application in training.<\/p>\n
While Ferdinand admits he has been left \u2018surprised\u2019 by their spat \u2013 he feels Ten Hag knows exactly what he is doing \u2013 and pointed towards how the Dutchman impressively handled issues surrounding Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
Asked how he felt about Ten Hag\u2019s public comments about Sancho, Ferdinand told TNT Sports: \u2018The biggest thing for me is understanding why he said that.<\/p>\n
\u2018What I can draw from it is that he gave him a couple months off last season, for personal reasons, to get himself fit.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s given him minutes, I think he started around 20 games last season, and he\u2019s working out a way how he can trigger something from Jadon to get a positive reaction on the pitch.<\/p>\n
