1. 'Sancho Showdown' - again

   

   Daily Mirror

   The headline writers at the Metro and the Mirror were clearly of the same mind as they go for the exact same back page splash.

   Sancho, who moved to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund for £73m in 2021, has struggled for consistent form and has scored just nine league goals and provided six assists in his 58 appearances.

   Ten Hag said Sancho's poor performances in training led to him not being selected to face Arsenal - leading to Sancho biting back, and now suggestions he could be exiled from the squad or even sold in the coming days.

2. 'Sancho Showdown'

   

   Metro

   The fallout from Jadon Sancho's comments that he has been made a "scapegoat" for Manchester United's poor start to the season continue to dominate many of the back pages.

   Metro reports that Sancho could face disciplinary action as United manager Erik ten Hag stands by his own remarks that the England international had not reached the "level" required to be included in his squad.

   Sancho was left out of the United team which was beaten 3-1 at Arsenal on Sunday.
