Jadon Sancho: Winger returns to Manchester United training after Erik ten Hag meeting

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.
