The English midfielder suffered a fractured skull in the 2am attack in Retford, Notts. The player who is on loan at Matlock Town from Alfreton Town, was found unconscious at around 2am on Saturday morning in Retford, Nottinghamshire.

Sinnott received treatment at the scene and was rushed to a hospital where he was being treated for his life-threatening injuries.

His club, Alfreton Town FC and his on-loan side, Matlock Town FC, have now released statements saying that he has died at around 7pm.

In a statement on their website, Alfreton Town said: “We are saddened and heartbroken to report that Jordan passed away just before 7pm this evening. His family and friends were with him at his bedside and we send our sincere condolences to them all at this very sad time. Jordan was a model footballer and an exceptional talent during his time at the Impact Arena and had a close affinity with both the manager, assistant and the players he took the field with. The club would ask for privacy to be respected to all at the Reds and to Jordan’s family and friends during this delicate time. Rest easy Sinbad, we will never forget you.”

According to Sky Sports News, United have a policy that reward the players with a bonus if they finish in the top four, though the exact proportion of the salary varies depending on the exact terms of each player’s contract.

But after a disappointing draw 1-1 against Huddersfield on Saturday, United won’t be going to the Champions League, which means they are not entitled to any bonus.

Though this policy does not apply to every member of United’s squad because some older contracts did not include the clause. Furthermore, some players have individual bonus schemes that were negotiated on the basis of other criteria still it is being reported that most of United’s 25-man Premier League squad will be affected

United took the lead 8 minutes into the game through midfielder Scot Mctominay and had a decent first half performance but didn’t capitalise on their chances. As they have done recently they gave a poor second half performance and in the 60th minutes Huddersfield levelled the score from a counter attack which saw Isaac Mbenza score his first goal for the club.

In a tension soak end, United substitute Tahith Chong had a shot saved and Paul Pogba hit the bar before David de Gea made sure Karlan Grant didn’t give Huddersfield an unexpected win.

This result means that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side cannot catch up with Chelsea who are now third after a three nil victory against Watford or Tottenham who sit at fourth position with 70 points.
