As the Euro Cup heads into its final showdown, European clubs are making headlines. Recently, Manchester United posted a photo of Jadon Sancho training with the team at Carrington: "Jadon is back at Carrington for our pre-season training." Sancho, who spent the latter half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, returned to Manchester United on Wednesday and trained with the team on Thursday.
Fans have been buzzing with gossip, as last year saw a significant fallout between Ten Hag and Sancho, with the latter even losing his dining privileges at the club’s canteen. Renowned journalist Romano reported on the situation, stating that Sancho had a positive face-to-face meeting with Ten Hag this week, clearing the air. Both parties agreed to move past their differences and move forward. Sancho is set to participate in Manchester United’s pre-season games and has resumed training.
Sancho’s Initiative for Reconciliation
According to British media outlet HITC, Sancho was the one who initiated the reconciliation with Ten Hag, although it’s unclear if he apologized. The media also reported that Borussia Dortmund had hoped to extend Sancho’s loan this summer, and Juventus had engaged in transfer talks with Manchester United, but the situation took a turn. After Sancho resumed pre-season training, Manchester United confirmed he is back in the first-team squad, significantly boosting the team's strength.
Sources confirmed that this week, Sancho and Manchester United met, followed by facilitated communication between Sancho and Ten Hag. Sancho’s initiative for reconciliation was welcomed by the Dutch coach, although neither side confirmed if an apology was made. During the season review, Manchester United discussed Sancho’s situation at length, concluding that Ten Hag handled the matter professionally and appropriately throughout.
Ten Hag’s Professionalism Recognized
In fact, when evaluating Ten Hag’s future at Manchester United, his handling of players like Rashford, Greenwood, and Sancho had a positive impact. After all, post-Ferguson, it was common for Manchester United stars to challenge their coaches, which is detrimental to a top club’s management. Ten Hag has shown firm authority not just with Sancho, but even top stars like Ronaldo had to respect the coach’s decisions.
Just two months ago, Ten Hag’s position at Manchester United was shaky, but now he has led the team to an FA Cup victory and earned the club’s support to continue coaching. Sancho’s return to Manchester United is a significant boost for the Red Devils. It took Ferguson three years to pull Manchester United out of the doldrums; could Ten Hag be the Mr. Right for Manchester United this time?
