After a period of absence from the Manchester United squad, Jadon Sancho is set to be re-integrated following discussions with manager Erik ten Hag. Sancho, who last played for United in August, publicly criticised Ten Hag on social media, leading to his exile from the team. However, a recent meeting between the player and manager has paved the way for Sancho’s return to training with the first team.
Despite United being open to offers for Sancho this summer, with clubs like Juventus showing interest, his £40 million ($51.9 million) valuation has posed a challenge. The club has not disclosed whether Sancho apologised during his meeting with Ten Hag, leaving his future at the club uncertain.
In other news, 36-year-old defender Jonny Evans has signed a new one-year contract extension with Manchester United. Evans, a United academy graduate, returned to the club last year after spells with West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City. He expressed his excitement at remaining with the team and is looking forward to challenging for more trophies in the upcoming season.
Sancho recently returned to training with the team after his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in the second half of last season. While he will not be part of the squad for the pre-season friendly with Rosenborg, he is expected to be available for selection in upcoming matches. United is set to face Rangers at Murrayfield on July 20 before embarking on a three-match tour in the U.S. starting on July 24.
Evans, who won three Premier League titles and two Carabao Cups during his first spell at Old Trafford, highlighted the privilege of representing the club and the support from the fans. His return last season was described as an honor, and he believes the team can challenge for more trophies in the coming season. The FA Cup victory over Manchester City was a particularly memorable moment for Evans and the team.
The reintegration of Jadon Sancho into the Manchester United squad signals a potential positive turn of events for the player and the team. With discussions and training underway, the focus now shifts to the upcoming matches and the potential for success in the new season. As for Jonny Evans, his contract extension reflects the club’s confidence in his abilities and his contribution to the team’s achievements.
