Jadon Sancho reveals what it’s REALLY like to be back at Man United as his remarkable first team reintegration continues, having been banished for a bust-up with Erik ten Hag last season

Jadon Sancho is enjoying life back at Manchester United after being reintegrated back into the first team squad following his exile last term.

The 24-year-old has featured extensively for the Red Devils during pre-season, while injuries in the forward positions means he could start Erik ten Hag’s side’s Premier League opener against Fulham on August 16.

It is a remarkable turnaround for the winger, who was banished from the first team last term after falling out with the Dutchman.

‘Obviously when I have time off, I usually come to America. This is actually one of the places I do train before pre-season so it’s nice to be back. I wouldn’t say it’s home but yes, it’s a nice facility.’

Sancho still has two years left on the £250,000-a-week contract he was given after joining United from Dortmund for £73million in 2021. The Bundesliga club want to re-sign Sancho but would struggle to afford those wages as well as the £40million transfer fee United are demanding. Juventus are the other club with a long-standing interest, while a move to Paris Saint-Germain remains a possibility.

‘We spoke well,’ said the Ten Hag said. ‘Anyone can make a mistake. If the player reflects well on that, then you draw a line and move on again. This club needs good players, and one thing is for sure: Jadon is a terribly good player. I hope that the click still comes, and that he will contribute to our success.’

Sources have also spoken about Sancho ‘reflecting’ on the fall-out, which suggests he might have stopped short of giving Ten Hag the apology he wanted but softened enough for the two men to move on.

Insiders say that Sancho has fitted back in like he has never been away after those few months at Dortmund. They describe a bubbly character with a good sense of humour who can be a positive influence on those around him. Everyone wants to keep it that way, they say, whether he is around for the short or long-term.
