Sancho returns to Man United training after settling rift with Ten Hag.
Jadon Sancho has rejoined Manchester United training, marking the end of a prolonged rift with manager Erik ten Hag.
The reconciliation comes after Sancho’s initial refusal to apologize for publicly disputing Ten Hag’s reasons for his exclusion from the squad for the Arsenal match in September.
Jadon Sancho, the English winger, has patched things up with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and rejoined team training. This comes after a public falling out last season that saw Sancho frozen out of the squad and eventually loaned back to his former club Borussia Dortmund.
Here's a breakdown of the situation:
The Rift: Last season, Sancho struggled to impress at United following his big-money transfer in 2021. He was dropped from the squad for a match against Arsenal, and when he publicly questioned Ten Hag's reasons for the decision, things went sour.
Loan Spell: Unwilling to apologize, Sancho was isolated from the team for months before being shipped back to Dortmund on loan in January. There he rediscovered his form, playing a key role in Dortmund's run to the Champions League final.
The Reconciliation: With the new season approaching, it seems both Sancho and Ten Hag decided to bury the hatchet. Reports suggest they had a productive meeting where they agreed to move on.
Sancho's return is a surprising turn of events, especially considering Ten Hag recently signed a contract extension. However, there's optimism that Sancho can contribute to the team, especially after his successful loan spell. He's expected to participate fully in pre-season training and the upcoming US tour.
