It has been revealed that Manchester United winger, Jadon Sancho is currently not permitted to access the club’s senior facilities.

The news has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions among football enthusiasts.

Jadon Sancho, who made a high-profile move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window of 2021 from Borussia Dortmund, appears to be in a unique situation where he is required to park his car near the academy building before preparing for training sessions.

This unconventional arrangement has caught the attention of fans and media alike.

According to exclusive insights from The Athletics’ David Whitwell, the England international has to undergo the unusual routine of changing into his training gear while locking himself inside the academy dressing room.

According to the report, this is aimed at preventing any inadvertent interactions with underage players within the club’s youth setup.

This is in response to the England international’s ongoing feud with Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, following a social media post shared by the former Borussia Dortmund star hitting at the manager’s criticism.

A prior report recently even states that the situation appears more tense than being denied access to senior facilities at the club as Sancho was restricted from engaging in the team’s official photo for the 2023/24 season.

October 26, 2023: British Airways is bringing Nigerian-born musician Cuppy’s Afrobeats to flyers, with an exclusive playlist available onboard from November 1. 

Londoner Cuppy’s DJ skills have taken her to over 30 countries, curating her top tracks for the airline’s inflight entertainment system.

To celebrate the increase in the number of flights between Africa and London with the launch of British Airways’ new route from Accra to London Gatwick – in addition to its daily services to London Heathrow – Cuppy has created a playlist that transports travellers to a far-away paradise before their flight has even touched down.

Customers across British Airways’ entire long-haul network will be able to enjoy tracks, including “Jollof On The Jet” and “Feel Good”, blending spicy African beats with hip hop and reggae.

Musician, frequent flyer and philanthropist, DJ Cuppy, said: “Like British Airways, music has the power to transport us to different places around the world so I’m super excited to partner with them on their first ever Afrobeats playlist, bringing feel-good vibes right to flyers’ seats. I’m pleased to add this exclusive mix to their extensive music collection and hope customers sit back, plug in their headphones and turn the volume up!”

Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, said: “Enjoying the latest music, films and boxsets is one of the things our customers most look forward to when they fly with us, so we’re really pleased to partner with Cuppy and bring more exclusive mixes to flyers’ fingertips. This year we’ve doubled the entertainment content available on board and music lovers can settle in and enjoy curated playlists and popular podcasts from every genre.”

This week, the airline launches a new route from Accra to London Gatwick, joining the existing daily service to London Heathrow and giving travellers more choice of flight times and airports. 

Flights depart Accra at 21.20 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, landing into Gatwick at 04.00. 

A fourth weekly service will be added to the route timetable from April next year.
