Manchester United Treble winner Dwight Yorke says manager Erik ten Hag was wrong to publicly criticise Jadon Sancho.
Ten Hag explained he'd dropped Sancho for poor training ground form after defeat at Arsenal last week.
Speaking to Genting Casino, Yorke said: "I've been in situations as a player where I thought the manager was wrong.
"For example, I didn't always agree with Sir Alex Ferguson, and there were a few occasions when I didn't think his decisions were 100 per cent right.
"We're all human beings, and disagreeing with someone is just a part of life.
"I believe that the Sancho scenario is a case of the manager making a football decision, and who's to say that footballing decisions are right or wrong?
"It's always going to be subjective and the manager needs to do what's best for the team.
"With Sancho, you have a situation where the player thinks he's done well in training, but the manager doesn't think he's done enough. In my opinion, it's a conservation best had internally, with Ten Hag giving his reasons.
"It's then up to the player to react to it and take it on the chin. He could also take it personally.
"We don't know the full extent of what's going on as we're not there to make a judgment on it."
