Jadon Sancho's strained relationship with Erik ten Hag
The 24-year-old winger was excluded from the first-team squad in September after a public dispute with Ten Hag.
The Dutch manager had criticised Sancho's training performances as subpar, a claim which Sancho publicly refuted on social media.
Per Goal, his refusal to apologise for his public comments resulted in his banishment from the first-team group, which led him to train alone before his loan move to Dortmund in January.
Jadon Sancho given new lease on life at United
Despite the rocky past, ten Hag has extended an olive branch, offering Sancho a fresh start at Man United this season.
Sancho returned to first-team training after holding discussions with the 54-year-old tactician at Carrington last week.
The pair reportedly reconciled their differences at the start of pre-season training, providing Sancho with a new opportunity to prove himself with the Red Devils.
What did Erik ten Hag say about Sancho?
"As we 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," said Ten Hag, as quoted by MEN.
Ten Hag bashed after pre-season defeat
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Manchester United's 2024/25 season began on a disappointing note with a defeat to Rosenborg in the Red Devils first pre-season game.
Erik ten Hag’s side, featuring five first-team regulars from last season, lost by a last-minute goal by Noah Holm.
Though it was only a friendly match, the result drew significant criticism from both Ten Hag and the fans, particularly since the Premier League team conceded more than 20 shots during the game.
