Jadon Sancho 'looking lively' on Man Utd pre-season tour as former outcast looks to impress amid transfer uncertainty

Sancho has been 'looking lively' in pre-season training and could prove to Erik ten Hag that he is ready to be brought back into the fold at Old Trafford, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/07/27/man-utd-training-drills-usa-tour-sancho-van-nistelrooy/" target="_blank">according to Telegraph Sport's James Ducker,</a> who watched an open training session. Sancho, part of a team alongside Casemiro, Hannibal Mejbri and Ethan Wheatley, was apparently sharp and offered a glimmer of hope that he might be kept at the club beyond the summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Sancho was excluded by Ten Hag at the start of last season with the United boss critical of his attitude in training. Sancho managed to escape the purgatory his career had ended up in and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jadon-sancho-breaks-silence-ends-man-utd-exile-completes-loan-move-former-side-borussia-dortmund/blt4ed896623ab0b260" target="_blank">moved on loan to former club Borussia Dortmund</a>. The winger impressed in spells, particularly in the Champions League, and may well have done enough to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jadon-sancho-set-fresh-start-man-utd-erik-ten-hag-speaks-on-his-future-transfer-speculation-feud-put-aside/bltd547e3d6ead87861" target="_blank">convince Ten Hag to repair their relationship</a>. Despite signs of an improvement in the pair’s understanding, Sancho’s future remains unclear.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Sancho has unsurprisingly been linked with moves away from Old Trafford. Both <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jadon-sancho-twist-man-utd-future-erik-ten-hag-psg/blt9c5f7b90afccafa7" target="_blank">Paris Saint-Germain</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jadon-sancho-why-juventus-willing-to-use-federico-chiesa-in-deal-for-man-utd-outcast-explained/blte2b6beae1f2d7d27" target="_blank">Juventus have been chasing his signature</a>, but with United hopeful of recouping as much of their initial outlay for the winger as possible, it remains to be seen if a deal is feasible.

DID YOU KNOW?

Sancho can stamp his mark further in pre-season by impressing against Arsenal on Saturday. He played 45 minutes of United’s 2-0 victory against Rangers last weekend, and will want more minutes in the tank against the Gunners, who drew 1-1 with Bournemouth on Wednesday.
