Sancho recently returned to Man United
Erik ten Hag has broken his silence on Jadon Sancho’s long-term future at Manchester United.
Sancho returned to pre-season training alongside the first-team players that hadn’t featured at the Copa America or Euro 2024 and was spotted training with the senior squad.
The 24-year-old had been exiled by Ten Hag following public comments made in October after the winger wasn’t included in a match day squad against Arsenal.
He claimed that Ten Hag had lied about suggesting the reason Sancho wasn’t getting game time was due to his performances in training before refusing to apologising.
Ten Hag then ostracised him completely before he re-joined Borussia Dortmund for the second half of last season.
Ten Hag and Sancho stance
Now that Sancho has returned to United, the pair have reportedly drawn a line under their previous differences and have agreed to work together going forward.
Although he didn’t travel to Norway to feature in the friendly win against Rosenborg, Ten Hag indicated that there was no more bad blood between them.
He said: “We draw the line.
“Manchester United need good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line and we move on.”

The Red Devils have already made one signing this summer, bringing in Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna and have been linked with a move for Mathijs de Ligt of Bayern Munich.
United are set to face Rangers at Murrayfield on Saturday before then heading out to the United States to step up preparations for the new campaign ahead of the FA Community Shield against rivals Manchester City at Wembley on August 10.
