‘Positive talks with Ten Hag’: £85m Man Utd star returns to training after long exile

Manchester United have confirmed the return of Jadon Sancho to pre-season training at Carrington.

Sancho last trained with the United first-team squad nine months back.

He effectively called Erik ten Hag a liar on social media last year after the United head coach did not select him for the matchday squad against Arsenal due to his performances in training.

The 24-year-old was subsequently asked to apologise to the manager but refused to do so.

He was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund for the second half of the 2023/24 season.

According to ESPN, Sancho held positive discussions with Ten Hag this week and will be available for selection moving forward.

The Red Devils will return to the pitch on 15 July to face Rosenborg in Trondheim for the first pre-season game.

Final chance for Jadon Sancho to redeem himself?

The manager and player have reportedly agreed to draw a line on their disagreement and move on.

Sancho would be available for pre-season but his future is still uncertain.

Juventus are ‘pushing’ to sign the United winger but the Premier League club are seeking £40 million in return.

After chasing his signature for over a year, they signed Sancho in a £85m deal from Dortmund in 2021.

The Red Devils should be in no rush to let Sancho depart on the cheap. He has two years left on his contract with the option for another 12 months.

Undoubtedly, he is an immensely talented player but still needs to show his worth at Old Trafford.

He has merely 12 goals and six assists in 82 games for United.

It would be great for all parties if Ten Hag can bring the best out of the England international.

Even though his loan spell with the German giants last campaign was not very fruitful, he did show glimpses of his talent and potential.
