A former Manchester United star has branded Jadon Sancho a "complete waste of money" and shouldn't blame mental health for his poor form.
Manager Erik ten Hag has revealed that Sancho is training separately from the first team to get back in shape both physically and mentally.
The 22-year-old has registered three goals and one assist in 14 matches across all competitions, but former United full-back Paul Parker has not been impressed.

"Mental issues are very tough to talk about and everyone thinks they know a lot about it but they don´t. And because of that, it's tough for me to talk about his mentality, but I can say that he has been a complete waste of money,' Parker told BeMyBet.
"And of course, that is affecting him. But I also need to say that 60% of professional footballers have struggled with the same mental issues that he is dealing with. He is not unique in any sense."
"But he needs to focus on performing now. He's got to be held responsible for not being worth the money and he is doing nothing right on the pitch. He is slowing down the tempo, he is dribbling too much, and is not beating people as he should be doing."
"He needs to look at himself in the mirror. He needs to figure out why things are not working for him and maybe he will find out that Man United is too big of a club for him. Maybe he needs to go back to Germany and even Bayern Munich could be an option.
"He is slowing down the tempo, he is dribbling too much and is not beating people as he should be doing."
