Manchester United fans have been surprised to open their official club calendar to see a picture of Jadon Sancho for January.
Sancho has not played for United since August 26 and he's been on an individual training plan since falling out with Erik ten Hag, who banished him from the first team after an outburst on social media.
The winger was absent from the squad to play Arsenal at the Emirates in September and Ten Hag confirmed that was due to his level of training performances.
Sancho responded on X, formerly Twitter: "I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself very well in training this week… I've been a scapegoat for a long time, which isn't fair!" he wrote on his social media channels.

Sancho is used for January in the calendar, although which player is used for each month is usually decided before the start of the season, along with the photos being taken.
"It is about a culture and every player has to match certain standards," said Ten Hag about Sancho last month. "What will happen there, he knows what he has to do if he wants to return and it is up to him. We will see what will happen."
Sancho is not the only player on the calendar who could leave as Raphael Varane, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is pictured for May.
