Jadon Sancho has resumed training with Manchester United following discussions with manager Erik ten Hag. The 24-year-old English winger had a strained relationship with Ten Hag last season, leading to his exile from the first team and subsequent loan return to Borussia Dortmund in January. Jadon Sancho’s impressive stint at Dortmund sparked speculation about his future but he rejoined United this week for assessments and training alongside his teammates.
In other news, veteran defender Jonny Evans has signed a new one-year contract with the club. The 36-year-old Northern Irishman made 30 appearances for United last season after rejoining from Leicester City on a one-year deal. According to club sources, a meeting between Ten Hag and Sancho aimed to resolve past issues with both agreeing to move forward. The specifics of whether Ten Hag received the apology he sought following a social media incident involving Sancho last season remain undisclosed.
Despite previous intentions to sell Sancho, United now face challenges in securing a suitable transfer fee given his long-term contract until 2026 and the £73m initially invested in him. Sancho will not participate in United’s opening pre-season match against Rosenborg in Norway but is expected to be available for subsequent fixtures including matches against Rangers in Edinburgh and a tour of the United States.
Reflecting on his contract extension, Evans expressed delight in continuing with United for another season. He emphasized his pride in representing the club, playing alongside supportive teammates, and contributing to memorable achievements like the FA Cup triumph last season. Evans remains optimistic about United’s prospects for challenging for more silverware in the upcoming season under Ten Hag’s management.
