Until a few weeks ago, it would have been laughable to claim that Jadon Sancho had a future under Erik ten Hag at Man Utd. Yet, as of today, the pair have put their differences aside and the English winger has been a constant feature in the pre-season teams.
Sancho, who fell out with Ten Hag last season and left on loan to Borussia Dortmund is now back in a Red Devils jersey with the expectation being that he play a role in the team this season. Despite interest from PSG and Juventus, the 24-year-old seems firmly focused on Man Utd.

Sancho had an impressive set of performances for Dortmund during his time on loan at the club. The Englishman played an exceptional game against PSG in the semifinals of the Champions League to take Dortmund to an unlikely final.
Having lost Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, PSG want a replacement and have identified Sancho, who is valued at around £50.6m (€60M) as the potential heir. Juventus and Thiago Motta also want to sign the Man Utd winger to replace Federico Chiesa.
Speaking exclusively to Italian publication Tutto Juve, BBC journalist, Nizaar Kinsella, is confident that Sancho will be a Red Devil this season.
“I think he will stay there in the end, even if United would accept an offer deemed fair by the interested clubs. Juventus are not willing to pay that amount and would prefer to set up a loan with an option, unlike the Red Devils who would like to sell him permanently.”
“PSG could be the right situation, but I remain convinced that he could stay in Manchester in the end.”
The former Man City academy star has failed to hit the heights of his first stint at Dortmund but is now being offered a second lease of life at Old Trafford.
It is a golden opportunity that the 24-year-old playmaker should be looking to take with both hands.
Both the left and the right wing are not sorted at Man Utd, with the exception of Alejandro Garnacho. A good pre-season will give Sancho the ticket to a starting berth for a new season.
Let’s see if the Englishman takes this chance and enthralls the Old Trafford faithful with his performances.
It would be unwise for Man U to allow a player as important as Jado Sancho to go. Any day anytime Sancho is a good player, he demonstrated that in Dortmund last season.
His exit from Manchester is one of the reasons we performed below par last season.
Again, I don’t know why we want to sell MacTominay and Wan Bissaka instead of selling players like Mason Mount, Casemiro, Antony, Maguire and others who performed below average last season.
