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.

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.

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.
