Sancho trains with Man Utd after Ten Hag meeting

By Daily Sports Nigeria on July 13, 2024

Jadon Sancho has returned to training with Manchester United following a meeting with manager Erik ten Hag.

The English winger, 24, fell out with Ten Hag last season and was forced to train away from the first team before rejoining former club Borussia Dortmund on loan in January.

Sancho impressed at Dortmund and his future has been the subject of speculation this summer, but he returned to United on Wednesday for testing before training with his team-mates the following day.

Meanwhile, veteran defender Jonny Evans has signed a new one-year deal with the club.

The 36-year-old Northern Irishman made 30 appearances for United last season after rejoining the club on a one-year deal from Leicester City.

Club sources have confirmed a clear-the-air meeting took place between Ten Hag and Sancho earlier this week and both parties agreed to draw a line under their previous disagreement.

It has not been established whether Ten Hag received the apology he demanded after Sancho posted an inflammatory message on social media in response to the United boss saying his training performances had not been good enough before a Premier League game at Arsenal in September.

As recently the beginning of last month, United were adamant their intention was to sell Sancho, whether Ten Hag remained as manager or not.

However, BBC Sport was told Sancho was resistant to that idea given he has a lucrative contract that runs to 2026.

In addition, United were not certain of getting back the kind of transfer fee that would make economic sense, given they paid £73m for the England international in 2021.

Sancho will not be involved in Monday's opening pre-season friendly with Rosenborg in Norway.

However, sources say the 24-year-old will be available for the remainder of United's programme, which includes a trip to Edinburgh to play Rangers at Murrayfield on 20 July and a three-match tour of the United States.
