Manchester United’s out-of-favour England star Jadon Sancho has been spotted out partying as his stand-off with manager Erik ten Hag continues with the forward still refusing to apologise to his boss.
Sancho has not featured for Man United in the Premier League since August before he was dropped from the side to face Arsenal at the Emirates for disciplinary issues by Ten Hag.
Following the game, the Dutchman revealed that the player had been left out based on his training performances – a statement that Sancho vehemently and publicly refuted, and he has not featured for the side since.
Now, against the backdrop of his side struggling on the pitch, Sancho has been filmed partying with dancer and celebrity choreographer Cocainna.
In a video uploaded to social media, the pair can be seen together posing for the camera as the England international appears to be enjoying his exile from the first team.

Cocainna has over a million followers combined across both her Instagram and TikTok accounts, and was previously dating Nigerian singer Mayorkun, however the pair have now split.
Sancho’s future at United is far from clear, with the winger repeatedly linked with an exit.
The United exile is thought to be one of a number of players that the club are willing to part with this January following a hefty summer of spending, in order to comply with Financial Fair Play requirements.
He has spent the last four months training on his own, but with new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking charge of football operations at the club, it remains to be seen whether he could be reintegrated into the squad.
Sancho is still earning £300,000-a-week at United following his £73million arrival from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 – with the German side one of a number of clubs he has been linked with.
Mail Sport reported earlier in December that Manchester United chief John Murtough had flown out to Saudi Arabia to discuss potential exits for Sancho, Raphael Varane, Casemiro and Anthony Martial among other players.
Murtough is understood to have left Saudi Arabia without reaching agreement on any transfers, but established some important new relationships for United and further talks are planned.
It has been reported that should the player apologise to Ten Hag for his public statement on social media, then he might be able to rescue his future at the club.

Ten Hag claimed the winger was dropped for his ‘training performance’, which Sancho denies
After the Dutchman’s allegations of poor training performances, Sancho wrote: ‘Please don’t believe everything you read!
‘I will not allow people to say things that are completely untrue. I have conducted myself in training very well this week.
‘I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!
‘All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to the team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and I am grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!’
