Ten Hag Leaves Sancho’s Return Decision to the Player

Erik ten Hag has reiterated the possibility of Jadon Sancho making a comeback at Manchester United, emphasizing that the decision rests squarely on Sancho.

The 23-year-old faced exile at Old Trafford after criticizing Ten Hag for being dropped in September.

Despite the manager stating Sancho could return with an apology and a commitment to improvement, the situation remains unresolved.

Sancho’s preference for a return to Borussia Dortmund in January is known, but a rumored swap deal with Donyell Malen lacks traction, and significant January signings are unlikely pending an investment decision by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Sancho has been training separately from the first team, with his last appearance on the field dating back to August 26 in a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.
